Time 30m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
1 1/3 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 4 medium)
1/4 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 large egg

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F Lightly oil 12 muffin cups or coat them with cooking spray.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Stir in coconut. Set aside.
  • In another bowl, whisk together bananas, buttermilk and vanilla. Set aside.
  • In another bowl, use an electric mixer on high to beat butter until smooth, about 1 minute. Add brown sugar and beat until fluffy, about 2 minutes longer. Beat in egg.
  • With mixer on low, alternately beat in dry ingredients in three additions and banana mixture in two additions, beating until just combined each time.
  • Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the tops of the muffins spring back when lightly pressed at the center, and a skewer inserted comes out clean.
  • Transfer muffins to a wire rack to cool.
