- 2 large eggs
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract
- 1 cup (142 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder

- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (50 g) sweetened or unsweetened shredded coconut
- ⅓ cup (60 g) mini chocolate chips
- About ⅓ cup sliced almonds, for topping

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, add the sour cream, granulated sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract and almond extract. Whisk until well combined.
- Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir until a few dry streaks remain.
- Add the coconut and chocolate chips and stir until just combined (don't over mix).
