Introduction

After some more experiments in my kitchen with results, who found gradually more mercy in the eyes of my men, I am happy to present the recipe for my Choco-Coco-Muffins to you. They are loaded with nutritious ingredients. I hope you enjoy these muffins as much as my men do. They make a great breakfast or snack and I put them into my son's tiffin boxes. What a relief, when I can open the fridge door early morning and pull out something homemade and healthy for his tiffin box!

Ingredients

Serves: 12-22

4 medium eggs
2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla essence
1 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 cup coconut oil
4 ounces unsweetened shredded coconut

3 teaspoons baking powder
2 cups quick-cooking oats
3 cups wholewheat flour
1½ cups milk

1 sprinkling of confectioners' sugar (for dusting)

Start with greasing the muffin moulds. Then place a piece of paper lining into each mould and make sure the lining sticks properly to the sides all around.

Next step is switching on your oven to 190 Degrees Celsius. When making dough with baking powder, preheat the oven as the baking powder loses its power waiting around to be cooked.

Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and add the vanilla essence and the sugar. Stir with a hand mixer until the ingredients are combined. Then sift the unsweetened cocoa over the mixture, add the grated coconut and the coconut oil and mix everything well.

Finally blend the baking powder and the baking soda with the flour and put this into the mixing bowl. Join the oats and give everything a stir, so the dough is roughly combined.

Distribute the dough evenly in your muffin moulds and bake the small moulds for 25 minutes, topping the baking off with 5 minutes of grill. Dust the muffins with confectioners' sugar, once they have cooled down.
