- In another bowl, cream together the sugar, melted butter, vanilla and egg.

- Fold in the chocolate chips and the coconut.

Notes
*you can use unsweetened coconut if you’d like, as well.
*I usually fill the cups a little fuller to make 12 muffins to fit one pan, but you can fill the cups a little less and stretch it to 15 muffins, as well.
