Guilt Free Banana Coconut Muffins

I am going to try something a little different and add some recipes to the blog.  Please feel free to comment and let me know if you think I should keep it or take a hike.

I certainly don't claim to be a Red Seal Chef, but I feel as though I can find my way around the kitchen. I am posting these recipes because
1.  I often get asked for them
2.  I hope it will inspire you to incorporate a vegan meal into your diet once or twice a week
3.  It is always nice to have a new idea for supper!

I cook with ingredients that I almost always have in the house and I generally don't follow a recipe or measure ingredients.  That being said, I will try my best to put rough measurements on here!

So, here we go!

Banana Coconut Muffins

Yields 12 large muffins

2-3 ripe bananas
0.5 cup white sugar
1.5 cup apple juice OR water with a few tablespoons of sugar
0.5 cup shredded unsweetened coconut

Mix all of the above ingredients, then add

2 cups flour (I like to use a whole wheat/white blend)
1 tsp cinnamon
2 tsps baking powder.
Oats (as much or as little as you want, just make sure the consistency is something like below)


Pour into a well greased muffin tin and bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.   If  you want to do a loaf, allow for at least double the cooking time.



Delicious!  I make these a lot now, and everyone seems to really like them.  they are guilt free because there is very little sugar, no oil and no egg.  They are hearty enough for breakfast or sweet enough for a dessert.  Enjoy!
