Banana honey muffins

Banana honey muffins are a delightful treat that combines the natural sweetness of bananas with the rich flavor of honey and a hint of tropical coconut. These muffins are perfect for breakfast, a midday snack, or even a light dessert. With a moist and fluffy texture, thanks to the Greek yogurt and olive oil, they are both satisfying and nutritious.

Instructions:

2. Prepare Wet Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas thoroughly using a fork or a potato masher until smooth.
- Add the honey, olive oil, eggs, and Greek yogurt to the bananas.
- Whisk the mixture together until well combined and smooth.
3. Prepare Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, mix together the self-raising flour, baking powder, and cinnamon.
- Stir in the dried coconut meat until evenly distributed throughout the dry mixture.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients bowl.
- Gently fold the mixture together using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
5. Fill Muffin Tin:
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin tin cups. Fill each cup about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
6. Top with Coconut Meat:
- Sprinkle the top of each muffin with the remaining 1/3 cup of coconut meat (50g) for an extra crunchy texture.
7. Bake:
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- The muffins should be golden brown and slightly firm to the touch.
8. Cool:
- Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes.
- Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Serve:
- Enjoy your delicious Banana Honey Muffins warm or at room temperature.
- Perfect for breakfast or as a tasty snack!

Tips:

- Make sure to use overripe bananas for the best flavor and natural sweetness.

- Measure the honey and olive oil accurately to maintain the perfect moisture level in the muffins.

- Use Greek yogurt for a creamy texture and added protein.

- Do not overmix the batter to prevent the muffins from becoming dense.

- If you prefer a stronger coconut flavor, consider toasting the dried coconut meat before adding it to the batter.

- Add a handful of chopped nuts or chocolate chips for an extra crunch and flavor boost.

- Check the muffins a few minutes before the recommended baking time, as oven temperatures can vary.

- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
