Ingredients

3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour or white/regular whole wheat flour
1/2 cup white whole wheat flour or regular whole wheat flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest (the zest from about about 1/2 medium lemon)
1 cup mashed ripe banana (from about 3 bananas)
1/2 cup virgin coconut oil, melted
1/4 cup honey
1 large egg, preferably at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, divided
1 tablespoon turbinado (raw) sugar

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. If necessary, grease all 12 cups of your muffin tin with butter or muffin liners (my pan is non-stick and didn't require any grease).
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flours, baking powder, salt and lemon zest. Stir in 1/2 cup of the shredded coconut.
In a separate, medium bowl, whisk together the mashed banana, coconut oil, honey, egg and vanilla.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Divide the batter evenly between the muffin cups (a scant 1/4 cup batter each), then sprinkle the muffin tops with the remaining 1/4 cup shredded coconut. Sprinkle the tops with the raw sugar.
Bake for about 17 to 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Transfer muffins to a cooling rack and let them cool.

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 ripe bananas
1 tbsp oil or butter*
2 tbsp honey
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp salt
On Whole Wheat Pancakes
With Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream
As a topping for Fruit Pizza
In a sandwich with peanut butter and marshmallow creme

Steps:

Remove the peels from the bananas and slice them 1/2" inch thick.
Set a nonstick skillet over medium to medium high heat** and add the oil or butter, honey, cinnamon, and salt. Stir to combine.
Add the banana slices, and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden and caramelized. Be sure to watch the heat and turn it down if it browns too quickly. You want enough heat to caramelize and brown the slices, but you don't want them to burn.
Once the bananas are cooked you can enjoy them as is, or with marshmallow creme and peanut butter in a sandwich, with Bananas Foster French Toast, in oatmeal or yogurt, over ice cream, and more. Enjoy!
