Coconut Oil Blue Banana Muffins

Allergen Friendly Blue Banana Muffins made with Coconut Oil!

As you may remember from my NO BUTTER Chocolate Chip Cookies I am last to hop on the bandwagon for coconut oil.  Since I put up that post I have gotten several messages from readers expressing the love for coconut oil.  I am still learning all the uses for this versatile product but for baking it just seems like a no brainer.  These muffins have NO EGG and NO DAIRY!  They are moist and delicious and a family favorite!

Ingredients:

2 C flour
1 C light brown sugar
1 T baking powder
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 bananas, mashed (best over ripe)
3 T coconut oil
1/2 C apple sauce
2 tsp vanilla extract (you can use 1 if you like but I LOVE vanilla extract)
1 C fresh blueberries

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350.

Prepare muffin tin (12 count) with cooking spray, oil, butter or liners.

In large bowl combine dry ingredients, mix well.  A fork works best here to break down the brown sugar.

In another bowl combine bananas, coconut oil, apple sauce and vanilla.

Add dry ingredients to wet and stir until blended.

Fold in blueberries.

Bake 15-20 minutes until toothpick comes out clean when poked in the center.  Mine go 18 minutes for perfection.

Let cool on rack and enjoy!
