Shannon's Banana Coconut Muffins

Did it exact except used coconut flakes and less of them. Was delicious! Thanks for the recipe!

This is a great recipe! The coconut adds sweetness and a great texture. Very easy to pull together in a pinch. Had everything in my pantry! Great for breakfast! And a easy clean up!

Update: I have made this several more times now, sometimes following the recipe exactly, sometime varying it. My kiddo doesn't like the chunks of mandarin, so I usually blend up the mandarins into the batter. Family loves them as is, but they are better with pineapple chunks. Something odd about these... when they are fresh from the oven, they stick to the paper liner. After a few hours, they peel off the paper just fine. Weird. Original: I always hesitate to rate a recipe that I've changed, but I know other people may benefit from my changes. I suspect this would have been 5 stars had I followed the recipe exactly. Since coconut is supposed to be so good for you, I subbed 1/4 C coconut oil + 1/4 C butter for the margarine. I used 1.5 C gluten-free flour + 1/2 C coconut flour. And I used fresh oranges. The coconut overpowered the other flavors a little, but that was to be expected, I guess. My family really enjoyed it and it will become a regular. I think it would also be good with pineapple instead of/or in addition to the oranges.

I followed the recipe, and added 1 cup of grated coconut, and 1/2 cup of yogurt. The muffins were delicious!

These are delicious! I blended the mandarin oranges with the bananas as another poster did. I may try them next time with pineapple tidbits instead of the mandarin oranges, thanks so much for sharing your recipe with us.

I just made these for an easy grab and go breakfast. I sub'd a few things for added nutrition: 1/2 cup spelt flour for reg flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar for white sugar and added 1 cup chopped walnuts in lieu of the mandarines as i didn't have any on hand. The batter itself was really good-tasted like cake! It also took a little longer to cook, about 10 mins (maybe because i sub'd some spelt flour in there). Very good muffin recipe. It's seems more "treaty" than breakfasty but who doesn't want cake for breakfast?!

I didn't use the oranges but it still tasted amazing! Thanks for the recipe!!!

I followed the recipe exactly. They came out really good. Next time I might use a cup of coconut flakes instead of just 1/2. I also might try crushed pineapple instead of the mandarin oranges like someone else previously suggested. They definitely came out great with the ingredients given in the recipe.

Great recipe. Easy to make. Family and coworkers liked it. Wish the mandarins were more noticeable for flavour. Left some of the juice in to add moisture...we're just a bit in the drier side if oranges drained completely.

My family really liked these and my son asked for the recipe. They're very moist and flavorful. I made a couple of very minor changes: I smashed the oranges with the bananas before adding because I knew my guys would be thrown by chunks of oranges (the flavor stays the same). I also added a tsp of cinnamon because I just like it.
