Orange & chocolate chip coconut muffins with coconut ganache
Cupcakes and muffins
The creation of this recipe went something like this: searched Smitten Kitchen for a new muffin recipe idea; liked the sound of her Double Coconut Muffins; chose a different flavor profile (chocolate, orange and coconut); "healthified" some of the called-for ingredients. The result? Something like a tropical Mounds Bar, and by far one of the most delicious muffins I have ever made--no kidding! And don't fool yourself into thinking you'll be good and make a dozen, smaller muffins instead of the six jumbo. You'll just go back for a second, anyway. <br /> <br />And if you're wondering why the oh-so-exact 5.3 ounces of chocolate called for in the ganache below, is because I had left over coconut milk from the muffin batter. Not wanting to waste it or bother freezing it, I got out my calculator and figured I would need 5.3 oz. of chocolate to make a perfect ganache.
