Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1.25 cups Mashed ripe bananas
- 0.25 cups Coconut oil (melted)
- 0.5 cups Light brown sugar (packed)
- 2 Large eggs
- 0.5 cups Plain yogurt
- 1 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons Salba seeds (or chia seeds)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, melted coconut oil, and brown sugar. Mix until well incorporated.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the yogurt and vanilla extract, until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix to avoid dense muffins.
Fold in the shredded coconut and salba seeds, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
