Banana Coconut Muffins

YUM! I got this recipe from my friend Jenn after she raved about them. (www.madewithlovebyjenn.blogspot.com) This was my first attempt at making muffins from scratch and I was amazed at how easy it was!

Servings: Makes 8 (For some reason I ended up with 15. Who knows?)

Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 very ripe bananas, mashed (3/4 cup)
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, melted
2/3 cup sugar
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup sweetened flaked coconut

Directions:
Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line muffin cups with liners. (I used my silicone muffin pan and just sprayed on a little Pam) Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in bowl. Whisk together bananas, butter, sugar, egg, vanilla, and 1/2 cup coconut in large bowl until combined well, then fold in flour mixture until flour is just moistened.
Divide batter into 8 muffin cups and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup coconut. Bake until muffins are puffed and golden, about 25 minutes. Transfer muffind to a rack and cool slightly.

I am glad that you liked them also! I think that I may have doubled the recipe, so it should make 16. I am making them again today, so I will see if I did double the posted recipe. Glad you said something!
