Ingredients

  • 3 large bananas mashed
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1 cup sweetened coconut flakes

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a muffin pan with paper liners or grease with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Put the bananas in a bowl and mash them with a fork until they are pureed, but still chunky.
  3. Add the vegetable oil, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the bowl of mashed bananas and mix.
  4. Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a separate bowl.
  5. Add the wet banana mixture to the flour mixture and stir until just combined.
  6. Fold in the mini chocolate chips and the coconut flakes, reserving a small amount to sprinkle on top of the muffins.
  7. Spoon the mixture into each baking cup until the cup is 2/3 full. Sprinkle extra coconut and chocolate chips over each muffin, if desired.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 22 minutes for full-sized muffins or 12 to 15 minutes for mini muffins until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Notes

  • Use overripe bananas for the best flavor and texture. Brown and spotty is perfect.
  • If you want to add more coconut flavor, use coconut oil as the vegetable oil in the recipe.
  • Gently fold the wet and dry ingredients together. Overmixing can result in tough muffins.
  • Don't overfill the muffin cups.
