Very nice. I subbed fat free vanilla yogurt for the butter and replaced 1/2 cup of the sugar with splenda granular, plus the coconut I had on hand was unsweetened. I made it into a loaf rather than muffins (took 45 minutes to bake in my convection oven) and it came out very nice. Moist, tender, and very tasty.
