Instructions:
-
Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, shredded coconut, and raisins. Stir until well combined.
-
-
Prepare Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the egg. Add the milk, melted margarine, mashed ripe bananas, and brown sugar. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
-
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently until the dry ingredients are just moistened. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
-
Fill Muffin Pans: Spoon the batter into greased or lined muffin pans, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
-
Prepare Topping: In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, melted margarine, and cinnamon until crumbly.
-
Add Topping: Sprinkle the prepared topping evenly over the unbaked muffins, adding a delightful sweet crunch to each muffin top.
-
Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the muffin pans in the oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Serve: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy these moist and flavorful Banana Coconut Muffins warm or at room temperature.
-
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage. Simply reheat in the microwave or oven before serving if desired.
Tips:
- Use ripe bananas for the best flavor and sweetness.
- Feel free to customize the recipe by adding chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter for extra texture and flavor.
- Make a double batch and freeze the extra muffins for quick and convenient breakfasts or snacks on busy days.
