Ingredients:

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 2 eggs
• 3/4 cup milk
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 2 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3 bananas)
• 1 cup chopped walnuts
• 1 cup granola
• 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Line 24 muffin cups with paper liners. Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon 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 walnuts, granola, and coconut into the batter. Spoon the batter into the paper liners, filling each one to the top. Muffins can be topped 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 and remove from the pan.

Makes 24 muffins.
