Banana-Coconut Muffins

Merry (almost) Christmas, y'all! We have visitors in town for the holidays, so I always try to have some fresh muffins or {sweet} bread on hand when anyone is coming through town. These muffins are one of my go-tos, and are great with a cup of fresh coffee!

Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 stick butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 c granulated sugar
2 eggs, room temperature
1/2 tsp vanilla
3 (ripe) bananas, mashed
3/4 cup sweetened shredded coconut, plus some extra for topping (up to your liking)

Preheat oven to 350°

Step One
Mix flour, baking soda & salt in a separate bowl and set aside

Step Two
In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together butter & sugars until fluffy. Add in eggs, vanilla and bananas and mix until smooth. Fold in the coconut until blended.

Step Three
Pour into muffin cups (filling about 3/4 of the way full), sprinkle some of the remaining coconut on top and bake for 25-30 minutes (or until cooked through).


Enjoy, y'all!
