Dark Chocolate Coconut Muffins

There are a few food trends sweeping through Australia right now. Green juices, American hipster food, Korean cuisine, pickling, smoking, fermenting, not forgetting kale, quinoa & chia seeds which are still strong from last years hotlist.
There is one on-trend ingredient which I can't get enough of & thats coconut oil. I've discovered it's one incredibly versatile ingredient. I've been using it to stir fry, roast vegetables, bake cakes, toast homemade granola, even adding it to smoothies. Not only does coconut oil have a long list of health benefits, it's really delicious, adding a beautiful subtle coconut flavour to your cooking.
It therefore won't surprise you that I've added coconut oil into my tried & trusted chocolate muffin recipe. Whilst I was preparing the ingredients, the aroma of coffee filled the room as my hubby had made a fresh espresso just moments before. I couldn't resist the urge to add a spoonful of freshly ground coffee into the mix too which in hindsight, was a good choice.
These muffins are rich and have a fudgy texture. The coconut cream cheese frosting gives them an extra bit of indulgence. These muffins make a fab occasional treat for the whole family.
