Banana Coconut Chocolate Chip Muffins
I found this Banana Coconut Chocolate Chip Muffins recipe actually in google sites and had to try it when I wanted a quick bake. I didnt want to wait an hour for loaves of bread to make. And these only took 22 minutes to bake. And oh so good, moist, a little sweet.
Chocolate Chip Banana Coconut Muffins
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 1 large egg
- 5 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 1 1/2 cups of all purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup dried coconut (if you can find the unsweetened variety, feel free to use.) and a bit more to sprinkle on top of the muffins I did not add to the top this time.
Instructions
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cupcake/muffin pan with liners. In a medium bowl, measure out and mix together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- 2. In a large bowl, whisk egg and sugar, and vanilla extract together until well combined. Add melted butter. Mix well. Smash bananas in small bowl before adding to mix. Add chocolate chips and coconut. Mix well.
- 3. Add dry mixture. Use a VERY light hand to mix at this point. The more mixing you do the tougher the muffin so try not to over mix. You want everything well mixed together but not over mixed.
- 4. Divide batter equally in liners. Sprinkle tops with some coconut. Bake until golden brown, about 22-30 minutes.
- 5. Cool for 5 minutes in the pan and then enjoy.
Notes
Time may vary depending on oven, I checked with toothpick at 18 minutes.
As I prepared this recipe I used my Kitchenaid Mixer, the wire whip for the eggs, sugar and butter, then I switched to the scraper, I broke the bananas in chunks and stirred until they were still chunky and not smooth. Then I switched to the bread hook and as it says, I only stirred the dry ingredients until wet. I filled my prepared pan 3/4 ths full to bake.
And the original recipe says to bake up to 30 minutes, I checked at 18 minutes and at 22 minutes a toothpick inserted, they were perfect. I did not use paper liners for these as I didnt want to loose any morsel, but could for sure!!
They turned out better than I expected, I was in a hurry as I had unexpected company and needed a quick treat to serve with coffee.
As you can see they were full of goodness with chocolate chips, bananas and coconut. I allowed them to cool then placed in a ziplock bag but left it open as they are so moist I did not want them to become sticky.
Have you tired my other Recipe’s
Note: As you can see I did not add the coconut to the tops, I ran out but would add to the tops next time. Enjoy!!!
