Coconut Banana Bread Muffins


If you have visited my blog before, you know I'm a sucker for banana bread. Every week I buy a bunch of bananas and let them sit on my counter as I not-so-patiently wait for them to brown enough to make banana bread for the coming week. I also have a slight obsession with coconut, so this recipe is a perfect combination of two things I love! These muffins are delicious enough for dessert and healthy enough for breakfast! Nom nom!

Ingredients:
2 very ripe bananas (optional: +1 for topping)
3 tbsp coconut oil
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup quick oats
1 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp baking powder 
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup shredded coconut (optional: +2 tsp for topping)

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. In medium mixing bowl, mash bananas until smooth. 
3. Add oil, vanilla, brown sugar, egg, milk, juice, and yogurt. Whisk 2-3 minutes until well combined.
