Chocolate Coconut Filled Muffins

In a bowl, combine the following.
2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
3 Tablespoons baking cocoa
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt

Wisk together in another bowl the following:
1 cup milk
l egg
2/3 cup vegetable oil

Pour liquid ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until moistened. Spoon 2 tablespoons of batter into 12 greased or paper lined muffin cups.

In a small bowl blend together:
1 1/4 cup flaked coconut
(I like to chop the coconut in my food processor for finer flakes)
1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/4 teaspoon almond extract.

Place 2 teaspoonful on coconut mixture in the center of each cup(do not spread). Top with remaining batter. Bake at 400 degrees for 20-22 minutes or until muffins test done. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack.

Chocolate Chocolate Chip Pancakes

2/3 C flour
1/3 C corn starch
1/4 C unsweetened cocoa powder
3/4 t baking powder
3/4 t baking soda
1/4 t salt
1/8 t cinnamon
6 T granulated sugar
1 C milk
1/3 C vegetable oil
1 egg
1 1/2 t vanilla
1/2 C mini chocolate chips
Combine flour, cornstarch, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
In a separate bowl blend together sugar, milk, oil, egg, and vanilla. Use a wire whisk for a minute so it gets a little frothy.

Slowly add the wet ingredients into the dry a little at a time, stirring to combine. Just stir until they're combined and don't over mix. Stir in the chocolate chips. This is a pretty thin batter, so don't be expecting something that looks like a pancake batter. It's supposed to be thin.
