Orange Coconut Muffins

Adding a little bit of orange juice or orange zest to a muffin recipe can add both colour and flavour. For these muffins the focus is on the orange and the recipe uses a full orange, peel and all. The resulting muffins look beautiful and have a rich orange flavour. The coconut is not just for decoration on top but add flavour and texture to the muffin itself.
