  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 4 ounces butter melted and cooled (1 stick, unsalted

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup banana mashed ripe

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the melted butter and blend. Add the egg, milk, vanilla and mashed bananas to the flour-and-butter mixture and mix well. Fold the diced bananas, walnuts, granola and coconut into the batter.
  3. Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling each ¾ full. Top with extra coconut, if desired. Bake 24-26 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of muffin comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Keep banana muffins wrapped tightly to prevent drying out during storage.
  • Refrigerate muffins for up to one week, or freeze individually wrapped for up to three months.
  • Thaw frozen muffins at room temperature before serving to maintain texture.
