In my house muffins are a key part of our diets. If it was up to my kids they would eat them morning noon and night. Well sometimes I think I would be right there with them on that lol. The only problem is I get sick of eating the same kinds over and over again. I wanted to have a muffin that I have never seen in the store before. I had bananas that were getting very brown on my counter so I figured I would use those up. Next I let my daughter pick out another main ingredient but I said no candy. She happened to choose her favorite coconut chips. If you don’t have coconut chips on hand you can use shredded coconut but it will have a different texture.
