Coconut and chocolate treats are easy to make, and if you love coconut, you must try this dessert. These coconut muffins are easy to prepare and are soft inside with a crispy crust on the outside. The aroma that spreads throughout the house during baking is amazing, and they are also gluten-free, made with only 4 ingredients. They are a sort of coconut muffin because they are baked in a muffin tin, but the texture is very different because, without flour and only coconut, they have a very unique consistency. Don’t worry if the mixture seems sandy while preparing; once cooked, they will be compact. I recommend trying the QUICK CHOCOLATE TREATS and all the COCONUT DESSERTS. Now let’s see how to make the coconut treats, and if you try them, let me know. Barbara

How to prepare Coconut and Chocolate Treats

Let’s start preparing the Coconut and Chocolate Treats, pour the egg into a bowl,
beat it with a whisk
add the shredded coconut and mix it into the egg.
Now add the sugar,
if desired, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract,
a splash of milk,
and the chocolate chips, mix with a fork and incorporate well.
Place the cupcake liners in the muffin tin and pour in the mixture, it will be very crumbly,
compact well with the back of a teaspoon and then pour more to complete the liner, always compacting well, otherwise once baked, it will not be firm.
Add more chocolate chips on top and press them into the mixture so they sink slightly.
Bake in a preheated static oven at 350°F for 12/15 minutes; once baked, remove the Coconut and Chocolate Muffins from the oven and let them cool before serving.
