Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 pound unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 extra-large eggs
3/4 cup whole milk
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup mashed ripe bananas (2 bananas)
1 cup medium-diced ripe bananas (1 banana)
1 cup small-diced walnuts
1 cup granola
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
Dried banana chips, granola, or shredded coconut, optional

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Line 18 large muffin cups with paper liners. Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Add the melted butter and blend. Combine the eggs, milk, vanilla, and mashed bananas, and add them to the flour-and-butter mixture. Scrape the bowl and blend well. Don't overmix.

Fold the diced bananas, walnuts, granola, and coconut into the batter. Spoon the batter into the paper liners, filling each 1 to the top. Top each muffin with dried banana chips, granola, or coconut, if desired. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the tops are brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Cool slightly, remove from the pan, and serve.

Delicious, even with whole wheat flour!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I used whole wheat pastry flour for half of the four listed, reduced the sugar listed by 1/4 cup, and used 1/2 butter and 1/2... virgin coconut oil for the fat. They were AMAZING! Everyone loved them! Very moist! This one is a keeper!Read more

Wow, awesome muffins!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These are the best banana muffins I have ever had! So moist and yummy. I'm allergic to nuts, so I used chocolate chips... instead, hehe. I also accidentally left out the granola - and we loved them so much I haven't been yet been able to get myself to try adding that part in. I have made these several times now and everyone loves them. Thank you for a wonderful recipe!Read more

EXCELLENT MUFFIN
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I just made these muffins and I'm not a fan of coconut BUT this was fabulous ! Very easy to make ahead of time and bake the... next morning adding the crunch topping. I made them in the large muffin tins and they needed to be cooked an extra 10-15 mins. Great for a snack-warm in a miro wave for 20 sec. This receipe has a lot of flavor !!!Read more

I made these muffin for breakfast this morning and everyone agreed that they are amazing! I only made a half batch and it... still yeilded a dozen regular sized muffins...these are to good to have extras sitting around my kitchen as I don't have a lot of willpower : ) i used candied walnuts and crunched up oats n honey bars for the topping, it worked out well. I will definately store this recipe in my stash!Read more
