Coconut Horchata Muffins

 

Remember that dreamy, creamy horchata de coco I shared last week? It was a major hit at home with numerous requests to make it again and again. I made a double, triple batch over the weekend, so I would purposely have a few cups leftover to make these horchata muffins.

These coconut horachta muffins are moist, tender and packed with horchata goodness.  They bake up beautifully with round, domed tops in a pale light golden color. They are perfectly fine served warm, plain without frosting, but hey you only live once – let’s slather a thick layer of horchata cream cheese frosting on them.  Trust me they are delectable. Oh – don’t forget to add a hefty sprinkle of toasted coconut for crunch, it takes these muffins to another level.

Big on flavor, impressive for a potluck dessert and effortless to make these muffins are tiny bites of love.  In a pinch? No need to worry, feel free to use a horchata mix or prepared horchata found at your local grocery store.

To make these muffins I used my favorite Wilton muffin pan sturdy, nonstick and always provides me with overall wonderful results, one of my go-to pans for breakfast or brunch parties.
