Coconut Banana Muffins

Coconut Banana Muffins

These make a great breakfast or after-school snack and are a great way to use up those bananas that have gotten a bit too ripe. Remember, if you have overripe bananas and don't have time to bake, you can just pop them in the freezer, skins on or off. If you take the skins off, just freeze them in groups of three so you can easily pull out what you need for one batch of muffins.

1/2 cup butter
2 eggs
3 very ripe bananas, mashed together
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour (up to 1/2 cup whole wheat flour)
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup grated coconut

Cream together the butter and eggs, then mix in the ripe bananas and vanilla.

In a small bowl, mix the flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar together, then add to the wet ingredients and mix just until all is moistened. Add the walnuts and coconut.

Spoon the batter into muffin tins and bake at 350 for 30 minutes or so, until done.
