Table for Two - Chocolate Coconut Muffins with Heather Welch
Hello and welcome to a brand new episode of Nikoli's Kitchen, the penultimate episode of the first season! That's right, next week is the season finale, but before we get there, I was thrilled to be joined by someone who has changed my life and who, literally, has saved it. Heather- you may know her from Sunshine & Powercuts, or her bi-annual Sunshine Summit events- is here to talk about Just Heather's, which is a website/blog and a pair of podcasts that she's launching and a new journey that she is embarking on. I'm thrilled to have her for the second installment of Table for Two, where I sit down with my favorite creators and podcasters and talk about everything under the sun. Please make sure you subscribe to Heather's shows and follow her journey at https://justheathers.com/.
This week on the show, Heather has brought a recipe for chocolate mini muffins that I decide to adapt into a flour-less recipe using coconut oil in place of dried coconut to create some coconut chocolate chunk muffins- although my chocolate all sank to the bottom! I actually made the recipe live on the air with Heather, so you'll get to hear my reactions to it as I made it. Thank you all so much for listening, and stay tuned next week for the finale of season one!
For the past four years I've been honored to host the Livestream for the Cure, a charity that raises money for the Cancer Research Institute and for cancer immunotherapy, which is training the body's immune system to fight cancer. Since then I, with my co-hosts on Epic Film Guys, have raised over $30,000 thanks to amazing podcast partners and content creators who give their time and money to be part of the event. This year's event is our fifth, and we're looking to add $15,000 to that total, our biggest single year goal to date. Please tune in May 19th - 23rd for 50+ hours of content from podcast partners and creators around the world. Learn more at livestreamforthecure.com.

Featured Recipe for this Episode
2 eggs or 3 egg whites
1/2 c coconut oil
1/2 c honey
1-1/2 c almond flour
2 t baking powder
1/4 t salt
2/3 c evaporated milk
1 c finely chopped 70% dark chocolate (8 oz)
Preheat oven to 350°.
Whisk egg, oil, and honey together until the honey dissolves and everything is well-incorporated (it should look a cloudy pale yellow in color).
Combine the almond flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl and whisk to combine.
Combine the dry mixture into the liquid and stir just until combined.
Add the milk and half of your chocolate and mix again just until combined (make sure your chocolate is chopped into fine chunks, about 1/4" square max. If they are too big they will sink to the bottom when you try to bake this, like mine did the first time I made them).
Grease or spray a muffin tin or muffin cups with cooking spray.
Add approx 1/2 c of batter to your muffin cups or enough to fill them 3/4 of the way.
Top each muffin with chunks of the remaining chocolate.
Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 18-20 minutes. This recipe will yield 12 muffins.
Heather's Original Recipe:
1 egg
1/4 c oil
1/4 c honey
3/4 whole meal self-rising flour
1/4 c desiccated/finely ground coconut
1/3 c milk
1/3 c chopped 70% dark chocolate
~| If you do not have self-rising flour, make your own by combining 1 c all-purpose flour, 1-1/2 t baking powder, and 1/4 t salt |~
Preheat oven to 180° C (350° F).
Whisk egg, oil, honey (soft honey is best) until honey dissolves/blends.
Sift flour, add to mix with coconut & milk.
You can either add chocolate now or press into the muffin mix.
Grease or prep mini muffin tin with cases, fill each 3/4 full (add choc here if desired)
Bake for 15 min.
