Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tablespoons (59.15 g) unsalted butter
  • 1½ cups (187.5 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1½ teaspoons (1.5 tsp) baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon (0.25 tsp) kosher salt
  • ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (100 g) plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon coconut extract
  • ½ cup (90 g) semisweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup (71.5 g) whole roasted almonds, roughly chopped
  • ½ cup (42.5 g) coconut flakes

Instructions

  1. Place the butter in a small bowl and cover with a paper towel. Microwave for 1½ minutes on 50% power. Set aside.
  2. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a muffin pan with paper liners.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, Greek yogurt, milk, egg, vanilla extract, coconut extract, and melted butter until smooth; pour into the dry ingredients and stir until just barely combined.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips, chopped almonds, and coconut flakes, then divide the batter evenly among the 6 prepared muffin cups and garnish with extra chips, almonds, and coconut if desired.
  6. Bake at 425°F for 5 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and bake for an additional 9–14 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
