Chocolate dipped key lime bars were the inspiration for this recipe! Coconut lime chocolate chip muffins may sound different, but I promise you'll eat them all.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line 12 muffin cups with paper liners; set aside.
In a large bowl stir together flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in coconut and chocolate chips. Make a well in the center of flour mixture; set aside.
In a medium bowl combine eggs, sugar, milk, lime zest, lime juice, oil, and coconut extract. Add egg mixture all at once to flour mixture. Stir just until moistened (batter should be lumpy). Do not overmix!
Using a cupcake scooper, scoop batter into each prepared muffin cup - about 3/4 of the way full.
For the Streusel Topping: In a medium bowl stir together flour and sugar. Using a pastry blender or food processor, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in coconut and chocolate chips. Sprinkle muffins generously with Streusel Topping. Bake for 14 to 18 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean.
Cool in muffin cups on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Remove from muffin cups; serve warm.
