For Emily

My niece is probably my blog's youngest follower. Like all the kids in my extended family, she is a foodie. Here's a recipe for one of her requests, easy enough for a budding epicurean to make on her own.




Coconut Banana Muffins


170g softened butter
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon molasses (optional)
1 cup mashed very ripe bananas
(usually 3 bananas)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup dessicated coconut
(if you omit the coconut, increase flour measurement to 1 3/4 cups)


Preheat oven to 175 deg C. Beat all the ingredients together at high speed with an electric mixer. Line 18 muffin pans and fill with batter, about 3/4 full as the batter will rise while baking. Bake for 20-25 minutes.
