Muffin Recipe ★ Caribbean Banana Muffins

With some of the native ingredients of the islands, you'll be hearing the steel drums in no time!

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup butter
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 3 medium bananas
• 1 tablespoon rum extract
• 1 cup shredded coconut
• ½ cup chopped dried pineapple

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare 12 muffin cups with paper liners.
2. Sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into a bowl; set aside. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then beat in the bananas and rum extract. Stir in the flour mixture. Fold in the shredded coconut and pineapple; mixing just enough to evenly distribute. Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups.
3. Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.
