Tropical Sunshine Banana Coconut Muffins
Makes 12 muffins
Ingredients
1 1/4 cup (150 g) white whole wheat flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons Tropical Sunshine
1 cup mashed ripe banana (from about 3 bananas)
1/2 cup virgin coconut oil, melted
1/4 cup honey or agave syrup
1 large egg, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, divided
1 tablespoon turbinado sugar
Directions
Preheat oven to 375F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, kosher salt, Tropical Sunshine, and 1/2 cup of the shredded coconut.
In another medium bowl, whisk together the mashed banana, the coconut oil, the honey, the egg, and the vanilla.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and gently stir until just combined. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin liners in the pan. Sprinkle the tops with the remaining shredded coconut, followed by the sugar.
Bake 15-17 minutes, until the center of the muffins are just set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with no more than a couple of crumbs. Allow to rest in the muffin tin for about 5 minutes before transferring muffins to a rack to cool completely.
