If you have a sweet tooth, and you want to enjoy a treat that is free of refined sugar, this naturally sweetened coconut banana muffin recipe is a real treat for you.
I was inspired by cookieandkatie.com to bake this delicious muffin recipe. I adjusted couple of things to make this already perfect recipe even more perfect đ
For those who love coconut you will absolutely love this muffin recipe! These muffins are rich in coconut flavour, yet when you bite in you´ll still taste a banana flavour, which is an interesting addition to this muffin recipe. So if you like a combination of banana and coconut, I´m sure you´ll fall in love with this sweet, bright flavour and contrasting textures in these little treats!
I don´t know how about you, but I gotta be in a good mood when baking my treats. Make sure you´re too, and then it will guarantee you´ll have an absolutely delicious result.
The original recipe by cookieandkatie.com uses a table spoon of sugar, however, I decided not to, I only used a coconut sugar to sprinkle on the top of the muffins. It gives it a nice sweet flavour to it. So feel free to use it or not and if you want a bit sweeter taste in muffins, then add one or two table spoons of coconut sugar in the batter.
This delicious muffin recipe is perfect for breakfast, brunch, snack time, you name it! Just get yourself in a good mood and get ready for baking!
