Banana and Coconut Muffins

Today I woke up late after one of my friends 30th Birthday Party last night, surprisingly I felt really good and awake, after a shower and breakfast I suddenly got the urge to bake after my boyfriend saying he had the munchies…lol! So off I went into the kitchen, music on and feeling creative. Looking in my cupboards I came up with 2 different muffin recipes….so here goes the first one:-

Makes 6 muffins

125g Plain Flour

1 tbsp baking powder

1 tsp cinnamon powder

50g caster sugar

40g desiccated coconut

1 really ripe banana

90ml semi skimmed milk

1 egg beaten

50g butter melted

1 tsp vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 180deg. Line a muffin tin with paper cases.
Sift the flour, cinnamon and pinch of salt into a mixing bowl. Stir in the sugar a 45g of coconut (leave a tbsp amount for after). Make a well in the middle.
Peel banana and mash 3/4 of it into a paste. Put 1/4 to side. Put banana paste into well of flour mix.
Lightly whisk milk, beaten egg, vanilla and melted butter together, pour into well of flour mix.
Mix all ingredients together but do not over mix.
Spoon mixture evenly into the 6 muffin cases.
Slice the remaining banana and place one or two slices on top and sprinkle remaining coconut over.
Place in oven and bake for about 20-25 mins until knife comes out clean. Leave to cool.
