Coconut Banana Muffins ~

I love trying out new recipes - finding ones that I will continue to make for my family over and over again. I have yet to find a really good recipe for those poor bananas that we just don't get around to eating. So I googled "Banana Coconut Muffins" - I had coconut left over from the Rocky Road Fudge Browning (yum!) experiment.
I found this recipe:

COCONUT-BANANA MUFFINS

1 2/3 c. flour
1/4 c. sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. nuts (optional)
1 1/3 c. (3 1/2 oz.) coconut
1/2 c. raisins (optional)
2 sm. bananas, chopped (1 1/3 c.)

1 egg
1/2 c. milk
1/4 c. brown sugar
5 tbsp. butter
1/4 tsp. cinnamon

Mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; stir in coconut and (nuts and raisins). Mix in bananas.
Beat egg, milk, brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon in a separate bowl, then add to the flour mixture. Bake at 375 degrees approximately 25 minutes. Yield: 12 muffins.

They are so good!
I love how you can go from this:
