Shannon’s Banana Coconut Muffins

I have a long-tested banana bread recipe that is one my Grandma used to make. I have changed it up to add some coconut and mandarin oranges. I took them to work and people said they were wonderful.

Original recipe makes 12 muffins

1/2 cup margarine
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup mashed bananas
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
