Super Fluffy Grapefruit Coconut Muffins

We are running out of breakfast and I need to bake something quick and delicious. Citrus fruits are currently in season, I bought plenty of them whenever I pay a trip to our grocery shop. Both of my sons are big fans of fruits and citrus is one of their favourite. They love orange and mandarin and would never say no to them. When I made fresh honey lemon juice, my elder son would finished the drink in one gulp. To certain extend of how they obsessed with citrus, I’m going to introduce grapefruit to them today.

Grapefruit is from the citrus family. Compared to orange and mandarin, grapefruit is generally sour or bittersweet. Grapefruit is high in nutrients and load with Vitamins, hence adding grapefruit in our diet are beneficial to our health.

So yes!!! Today’s special is light and fluffy grapefruit coconut muffins!!!!! This citrus muffins are different from my CLASSIC ORANGE BUNDT CAKE. They are fluffier and softer with a light bitter aromatic and a subtle coconut flavour while the orange bundt cake is buttery with a sweeter and brighter orange scent.

This muffin recipe makes full use of a grapefruit. I added grapefruit zest and juice in the cake batter and used homemade candied grapefruit as the muffin’s toping with some fresh mint leaves as decoration. The muffins are unbelievably moist and flavoursome, both texture and taste are awesome!

This recipe makes 12-14 muffins and it only need 20 minutes to bake. They smell incredible during baking time. My 3 years old couldn’t wait to flip them out of the tray when I took the muffins out from the oven. As soon as they cooled down, he gulped down a whole muffin in a blink. LOL
