Description

Bring tropical flavor to banana muffins by adding pineapple chunks, shredded coconut, and rum flavoring to make this recipe for piña colada muffins.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 bananas, mashed
3/4 cup white sugar
1/3 cup butter, melted
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon rum-flavored extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 (20 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained
3/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut, divided

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line cups with paper liners.
2 Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.
3 Stir bananas, sugar, butter, egg, rum-flavored extract, and vanilla extract together in a bowl; fold in flour mixture, one cup at a time. Add pineapple chunks and 1/2 cup coconut; fold gently into batter. Pour batter into the prepared muffin cups; top each with about 1 teaspoon coconut.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into centers comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
