Lemon Coconut Pound Cake Muffins
These are delicious, sunny muffins that I can’t wait to share with you! They are soft Lemon Pound Cake Muffins with a hint of coconut and topped with aromatic lemon glaze!
These beautiful Spring muffins are light, airy and bursting with flavor. The look and taste of these muffins would definitely put you in a sunny mood! I loved the idea of making muffins out of a pound cake, it’s like having an individual lemon pound cakes topped with lemon glaze. They are so perfect as breakfast or as a dessert. Eat them whenever you want!
Guess what, I also used Coconut milk to make these pound cake muffins!
The second I saw it at the store, I knew I had to try it. It was great in baking and I’ve been trying it with everything ever since. I love it in my morning coffee and with cake. (Oh, just wait till I share the cake this week!) It’s light in flavor and has a hint of coconut. It also has only 80 calories.

- Add the butter and half of the egg mixture. Mix on low until just combined. Scrape the sides and bottom. Change the speed to medium and beat for about a minute. The batter will start get light and airy.

I have made those muffins every week for the last month and every time I go to visit someone. They are super delicious! Thanks for the recipe!!!

There are no doubt many Lemon Coconut Pound Cake Muffins Blogs, also I have been following this blog from willcookforsmiles & it is really very nice to learn more about Lemon Coconut Pound Cake Muffins here.
Would the Silk Coconut milk be a different texture/thickness/what-have-you than regular coconut milk? I’m thinking in terms of a substitution here.
No, DJ, it shouldn’t make much difference. I’m sure that you can even use fresh coconut milk.
Thanks, I didn’t think it would, but you never know. 🙂 I can see these in my oven soon. Thanks for sharing.
It’s my pleasure! I hope you love them as much as we did!
