Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup chocolate milk
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup finely shredded coconut
- 1 cup quick-cooking oats
- ¼ cup chocolate chips, or to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
- Mix flour, baking powder, and baking soda together in a small bowl.
- Beat eggs in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and frothy, about 3 minutes. Add chocolate milk, sugar, coconut, and oats; beat until thoroughly combined, about 2 minutes. Slowly add flour mixture to the bowl and beat together until no lumps remain in batter.
- Scoop batter into muffin cups, filling each 2/3 of the way full. Sprinkle a few chocolate chips on top of each muffin.
- Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool, about 25 minutes, before transferring to a serving plate.

Reviews
great
Substituted steel-cut oats for faster-cooking ones, and left out coconut. They were chewier than expected but not bad.
3.22.16 They baked perfectly at 18 minutes, were plenty moist and light, but the “sponge-cake” texture wasn’t quite what I was hoping for, although they were very good muffins. I did use Truvia® Baking Blend instead of sugar so, perhaps, that affected the muffin texture. I could taste the coconut a lot more than the chocolate flavor and would consider adding some chocolate chips to the batter if I make this again. Sprinkling some chips on the top did give nice presentation. Cheerios, thanks for sharing your recipe.
