Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the flour sugar, baking powder, and salt, and mix well.

Step 2

In another bowl, combine the milk, egg, oil, and coconut extract, and stir to blend.

Step 3

Add the four mixture into the dry ingredients, and little at a time, stirring well between additions, until all ingredients are well mixed.

Step 4

Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners, and fill ¾ full with the batter.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, add the dried coconut, oats, vanilla, brown sugar and butter, and blend well, cutting in the butter like you would for pie crust.

Step 6

Place about a tablespoon of the topping on each muffin, and bake at 350 for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 7

If the topping seems to be getting too brown, loosely cover the muffins with aluminum foil, and continue baking until muffins are done.

Step 8

Remove from oven to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve when cool.  Enjoy!
