  • 2
    In medium bowl, stir granulated sugar, oil and egg until blended. Stir in coconut milk and 2 teaspoons lime peel until blended. Stir in flour, baking powder, salt and 1/4 cup coconut just until dry ingredients are moistened. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling cups about 3/4 full.
  • 3
    Bake 14 to 18 minutes or until tops just begin to turn golden brown. Cool 2 to 3 minutes; remove from pan to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 20 minutes.

    In small bowl, stir powdered sugar and lime juice until smooth. If necessary, stir in water, a few drops at a time, until glazing consistency; set aside.

    In small bowl, toss 2 tablespoons coconut with 1 teaspoon lime peel. Dip the top of each muffin in glaze and let excess drip off; immediately sprinkle with coconut mixture.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    If you have only one 12-cup mini muffin pan, simply place the bowl of remaining batter in the refrigerator while the first batch of muffins bake. Cool the pan completely before baking remaining muffins. The cold batter might need an extra minute of bake time.
