1

Gather Your Ingredients

Before we can start baking, let's gather all the ingredients we'll need. You'll need 2 ripe bananas (the browner, the better!), 1/2 cup of shredded coconut, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of melted butter, 1/4 cup of milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1 and 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and a pinch of salt.

2

Preheat the Oven and Prep the Muffin Tin

Now that we have all our ingredients, let's preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven heats up, line or grease a muffin tin with paper liners or a light coating of cooking spray. This will ensure your muffins don't stick and make for easy cleanup!

3

Mash Those Bananas

We're just bananas about bananas! In a mixing bowl, grab your 2 ripe bananas and use a fork or a potato masher to mash them until they're nice and smooth. This is the foundation of our muffins' moistness and flavor, so give it your mashing best!

4

Mix It All Up

Time to bake up some magic! In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, shredded coconut, granulated sugar, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Give it a good stir until everything is combined and happy together.

5

Add the Dry Ingredients

Now it's time to bring the dry ingredients into the mix. Sift in the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into the wet mixture. Gently fold the ingredients together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay!

6

Fill 'Em Up

Grab your prepared muffin tin and start filling each muffin cup about three-quarters full with the batter. Leave a little room at the top for the muffins to rise and become perfectly domed wonders!

7

Bake and Let Cool

It's time to let the oven do its magic! Pop the muffin tin into the preheated oven and bake for about 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Once they're done, take them out of the oven and let them cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
