Coco-pandan Muffins: Indonesia defined.

Home made Coco-pandan Muffins

An oven in the kitchen ~ suddenly makes me want to experiment baked stuff. So one afternoon... somehow I 'run' to a friend's room and told her, "Let's bake!". Long story made short, we have several baking experience - from my totally failure first attempt without sufficient tools 'found' in my room; until successful chocolate muffins [off course it's good - it's CHOCOLATE!]. But this time, a rather experimental-yet-sounds familiar taste for trial came to mind.
As usual, my weekend here in Barcelona starts with  weekly vegetable shopping - and as most of any other Asian people in the world, my Asian tongue demands me to do regular stop at an Asian store. With imported goods from all over Asian countries, this store sometimes surprise me with Indonesian local spices or other stuff like "tempe" or galangal. But this time... I found pandan! So, driven only by far-scent and taste of home in mind, I grabbed a pack of pandan leaves and went home.
Some dishes came to mind, from chicken in pandan leaves - to green beans with pandan sugar. Then, as I saw the flour and sugar in my kitchen shelf, I think - why not muffins? Coconut seems to work with pandan - so be it.
