Servings: persons

1-3/4 cup All-purpose Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1-1/4 teaspoon Baking Soda
3 whole Large Ripe Bananas
1/2 cups Light Brown Sugar
1-1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
3 whole Egg Whites
1-1/2 Tablespoon Coconut Oil, Melted
1/4 cups Fat Free Plain Greek Yogurt, You Could Also Use Vanilla Greek Yogurt
1/4 cups Orange Juice
1 Tablespoon Skim Or Almond Milk
1/2 cups Shredded Coconut
1/2 cups Chopped Walnuts

1
Preheat oven to 425u00b0F.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine mashed bananas, brown sugar, and vanilla. Add egg whites and mix together until smooth. Stir in coconut oil, Greek yogurt, orange juice, and milk.
3
In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Slowly stir into the wet ingredients, being careful not to overmix. Get any dry pockets of flour out. Fold in coconut and walnuts into batter. The batter will be a little chunky; this is okay.
4
Divide the batter evenly between 10 muffin cups, filling them almost all the way to the top if you can. Bake for 5 minutes at 425u00b0F. Keeping the muffins in the oven, reduce the temperature down to 375u00b0F and continue to bake for 13 more minutes. Insert a toothpick into the center of one muffin. If it comes out clean, they are done. If not, bake for only 2 more minutes.
5
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 3 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
6
Makes 10 muffins. Muffins stay fresh in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Muffins freeze well up to 3 months. Heat up for 45 seconds to thaw.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
