I brought these to work yesterday--was told they were "really good!" I thought so, too! I saw that the recipe was from The Barefoot Contessa, Ina Garten so I felt sure they'd be good! I ran out of muffin wrappers and only had one pan for 12 muffins--regular size. I decided to use the rest of the batter for a loaf and it worked...

BANANA CRUNCH MUFFINS



Banana Crunch Muffins image

I made these for the first time after my baby was born 9 months ago and let me tell you...I ate about the entire batch! They are so darn yummy...and moist! Everyone that has tasted them absolutely love them. I have played with the ingredients a bit, toasting the coconut, using granola with raisins and almonds in it, every time they turn out perfect. Whenever I make these, I always think that the batter is a good base for any type of muffin (without the bananas, etc) but I haven't tried it yet. I originally found this recipe from the Barefoot Contessa.

  • To make sure the muffins are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of one. If it comes out clean, the muffins are done.
  • Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help them to hold their shape.
