Usually, I am pro-chocolate for everything. If there are different options to snack on, I generally pick the chocolate one. The darker the better. That was before I tried these vegan orange coconut muffins though. My lovely landlord made them for me and since then, they are my absolute favorite. The combination of orange and coconut is so unbelievably good and the additional orange zest gives it a great taste! For a while we made them at least every other week and we would eat them all within two or three days. Not just are they super yummy, they are also very easy to make and are super light compared to any chocolate desert. You won't feel too full or bloated after eating a few of them in one sitting.😉 Try them. Trust me, you won't regret it.
