Coconut Banana Muffins

(from bradleygirl’s recipe box)

These make a great breakfast or after-school snack and are a great way to use up those bananas that have gotten a bit too ripe. Remember, if you have overripe bananas and don’t have time to bake, you can just pop them in the freezer, skins on or off. If you take the skins off, just freeze them in groups of three so you can easily pull out what you need for one batch of muffins.
