Lemon Coconut Muffins - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 cups all-purpose flour
    1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut
    1/2 cup quick oatmeal
    4 teaspoons baking powder
    1/3 cup margarine (you could use softened butter)
    3/4 cup sugar
    1 large egg
    2 tablespoons lemon zest, finely grated
    1 cup milk
    3 tablespoons sweetened flaked coconut (or more)
    GLAZE
    1/2 cup sugar
    1/4 cup lemon juice
    3 tablespoons water
    1 tablespoon lemon zest, finely grated
Preparation
    Measure first 4 ingredients into small bowl. Stir. Set aside.
    Cream butter and sugar in large bowl. Add egg and lemon zest. Beat well.
    Add flour mixture in 3 parts, alternating with milk in 2 parts, stirring after each addition until just combined. Fill 12 greased muffin cups 3/4 full.
    Sprinkle with second amount of coconut. Bake in 375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C) oven for 18 to 20 minutes until wooden pick inserted in centre of muffin comes out clean.
    Glaze: Combine all 4 ingredients in small saucepan. Heat on medium until boiling. Reduce heat to medium-low. Heat and stir for 2-4 minutes until starting to thicken. Carefully spoon over hot muffins. (This makes a mess of your pan. It is SO worth it though.) Let stand in pan for 5 minutes before removing to wire rack to cool.
