Banana and Blueberry Wholemeal Muffins with Lime Cream Cheese Frosting and Toasted Shaved Coconut Flakes One Perfect Mess recipe easy one bowl baking moist soft 10

Topped with a generous dollop of lime cream cheese frosting and crunchy coconut flakes, these babies promise comfort, scrumptiousness and a little zing. And they are super easy to bake, the muffin recipe is one-bowl and there ain’t no funny business. Just pure and sweet cakey goodness.

They are simply a soft, sweet little morsel of dried apricot nestled in a blanket of smooth dark chocolate, and they definitely deserve a muffin recipe in their honour.

Raspberry, Coconut and White Chocolate Muffins recipe One Perfect Mess easy soft moist jumbo 1

All three of my favourite things in one moist, crumbly, fluffy muffin that is so moreish, you’ll need to quickly give some away to avoid inhaling several as they come out of the oven. I slightly adapted this recipe from one I found on Sally’s Baking Addiction. Sally’s blog is one that I often refer to and scroll through when I’m looking for inspiration, she does everything right and her posts are a joy to read and cook from.
