Double Coconut Banana Bread Muffins

Sharon Palmer

These Double Coconut Banana Bread Muffins have the power of bananas and coconuts magnified! These vegan gluten free banana muffins are packed with oodles of banana and coconut ingredients, including double the bananas (mashed bananas and banana flour) and quadruple the coconut (shredded coconut, coconut palm sugar, coconut oil, and coconut flour). You can find banana and coconut flour online, and in many well stocked supermarkets. These flours are gluten free, and the muffins are rich in fiber, minerals, and phytochemicals. In fact, these healthy muffins—packed with tropical flavors—have minimal added fat and sugars due to these powerful flavor combinations of fruits and nuts. I love to whip up this recipe for vegan coconut banana bread muffins, because they are not only packed with amazing flavors, they are also so, so easy to make. Great for kids’ snacks, easy breakfasts, and special brunches. You can substitute other flours, such as wheat or gluten free flour blends, if you don’t have coconut or banana flour—it’s up to you. Give them a whirl! These muffins store really well in the freezer too.

Step-By-Step Guide:

Mix aquafaba with coconut palm sugar (or brown sugar) until very thick.
Blend mashed bananas, vanilla, coconut oil, and plant-based milk together; gently fold into aquafaba mixture.
Mix banana and coconut flours with baking powder, salt, and shredded coconut.
Gently fold dry ingredients into batter.
Fill muffin tins two-thirds full of batter. Baked at 350 40-45 minutes until done.
Makes 12 muffins. Enjoy!
