These Banana Coconut Delight Muffins are a tropical twist on a classic treat, perfect for any time of the day.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
Using paper liners makes cleanup easier and gives the muffins a professional look.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add the sugar and melted butter, and mix until smooth.
Ensure the butter is not too hot to prevent cooking the eggs.
Mash the bananas in a separate bowl and stir them into the wet mixture along with the vanilla extract.
Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and sweetness.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and shredded coconut.
Sifting the dry ingredients ensures a lump-free batter.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Overmixing can lead to dense muffins, so mix until you no longer see dry flour.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
Fill each cup about three-quarters full for nicely domed muffins.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Rotate the muffin tin halfway through baking for even cooking.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cooling on a wire rack prevents the muffins from becoming soggy.
Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
Pair with a cup of coffee or tea for a delightful treat.
