Ripe bananas are the cornerstone of our Coconut Banana Muffins, and their significance in baking cannot be overstated. When bananas reach their peak ripeness, they develop a natural sweetness that enhances the flavor profile of baked goods. This sweetness eliminates the need for excessive added sugars, allowing the muffins to be delicious while still being mindful of sugar intake.

Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas, mashed

1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk

1/3 cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, coconut milk, vegetable oil, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk them together until smooth and well combined.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, shredded coconut, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

          Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

            Fill Muffin Tins: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.

              Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

                Cool: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Serve: Enjoy warm or at room temperature. These muffins can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
