Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners and set the pan aside.
- In a large bowl, stir together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Stir into the dry ingredients 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut flakes and 1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips. Make a shallow well in the center of the flour mixture; leave the bowl nearby.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 eggs, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup milk, 2 teaspoons grated lime zest, 1/4 cup lime juice, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon coconut extract until combined.
- Pour the wet mixture all at once into the well in the dry ingredients. Using a spatula, stir gently just until the flour is moistened and the batter is lumpy — do not overmix.
- Using a cupcake scooper or spoon, divide the batter evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Make the streusel topping: In a medium bowl, stir together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour and 1/2 cup sugar. Cut in 1/3 cup butter with a pastry blender, two forks, or a food processor until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir the streusel crumbs together with the remaining shredded sweetened coconut flakes and the remaining miniature semisweet chocolate chips.
- Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over each filled muffin cup so the tops are well covered.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 14 to 18 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
- Cool the muffins in the pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes, then remove the muffins from the cups and serve warm.
