    Hi friends! It's Katie from Made to be a Momma.  I am so excited to be back with girls Jessica and Sarah ( who are also some of my real life besties)bringing you a delicious recipe each month!  To start off the year, I wanted to share these delicious banana coconut muffins!  I always seem to have ripe bananas laying around and I decided to add one of our favorite flavors...coconut.

    I used coconut sugar and unsweetened applesauce to make these a tad bit healthier. The flavor of coconut in these can't be beat and the secret is a bit of coconut extract, you can certainly replace it with vanilla extract but I can't promise you will have the same pop of coconut flavor.  If you don't have coconut sugar you can also replace it with regular table sugar.

    Before I baked these muffins I topped them with some sweetened coconut.  The coconut toasted a bit in the oven but if you would rather a bit more crunch you can toast the coconut slightly before topping them on the batter.

      Banana anything can usually peak my interest so I knew I’d make these sweet muffs. The best part was when the coconut shavings were added...dear lord.
