The best recipe for Coconut Banana Muffins

These were good, but I they would be even better with chocolate…what wouldn’t!
I didn’t have chocolate chips in the house, but if I did they would have definitely made their way into these muffins! With or without chocolate, these muffins hit the spot for a late afternoon snack. Give them a go this weekend 🙂
