Chocolate Rough cupcakes

We had guests over yesterday, and we were talking about everything. One of the things that came up, was being unable to find a decent chocolate muffin recipe that used cooking oil, and not butter. (Like the packet stuff you buy at the supermarket and add oil and an egg to make up...) So the wheels began to turn...

3 cups flour
1 cup brown sugar
3 eggs
250 ml of cooking oil
1 cup coconut
2 Tablespoons of cocoa
3 teaspoons baking powder
100 ml of water

Pre heat oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit)
Sift the flour and baking powder, and cocoa together. Add remaining ingredients, and mix with an egg beater for 3 minutes.
Drop tablespoonfuls into muffin trays, lined with patty cases.
Bake for 12 - 15 minutes, until a skewer inserted, comes out clean. Cool on a rack.
Nice on their own, but may be iced with chocolate frosting.

Made these last night, and the kids love them, and I think they are very good, too.
