Muffins are the perfect treat to make during the fall when the air starts to get a little crisp and chilly. A warm muffin, fresh out of the oven, makes any ordinary day special.

I especially like the sweet smell of them baking in the oven… you know that they’re almost ready when your home fills up with the aroma of something oh so good.

With a combination of gooey bananas, creamy coconut, and chocolate, what’s not to like?! Wrap yourself in a cozy blanket, grab a slightly sweet and chocolatey banana muffin, and enjoy it morning, noon, or night. They’re perfect for breakfast, are nutritious as an afternoon snack, and are decadent enough to enjoy for dessert.
