Blueberry Banana Coconut Flax Muffins

When the local library ladies asked me to send them the recipe for the muffins that I’d brought to story time, I realized I’d created something special. They were enjoyed by the kids and adults alike. Delicious and wholesome, the coconut, banana, and flax add a little something extra to the boring old blueberry muffin.

Original recipe makes 24 muffins

1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups mashed ripe banana

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 24 muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners.
Whisk together flour, oats, flax, sugar, coconut, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
Whisk together bananas, sour cream, applesauce, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla in a large bowl. Stir flour mixture into banana mixture just until all dry ingredients are moistened; fold in blueberries. Fill muffin cups 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
