Whole Wheat Coconut Lime Muffins

You take the lime and the coconut…..and make a muffin. So maybe you are skeptical. A Coconut Lime Muffin is an interesting thing. I am fairly certain I have never had one before. I was really in the mood for key lime pie but it was breakfast time and I was feeling lazy so key lime pie was so not happening. Muffins are easy to whip together so I decided to go for the green and try a coconut lime muffin. I topped it with flaked  unsweetened coconut before baking to give it that nice toasted coconut taste and oh my. I am in love.

It’s a unique thing to bite into a coconut lime muffin. My taste buds weren’t quite sure what to think at first but after taste testing 2…or was it 3….I decided they are quite awesome, especially when served warm. Even better is when they are topped with glaze (recipe at bottom of post).
