2 tsp (10 ml) baking powder

1 tsp (5 ml) baking soda

1/4 tsp (1 ml) salt

1/2 cup (125 ml) shredded sweetened coconut

1/2 cup (125 ml) packed brown sugar

1 cup (250 ml) mashed ripe banana

1/4 cup (60 ml) melted butter

2 tsp (10 ml) vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 ºF (200 ºC). Lightly butter or spray 12 nonstick muffin pans.

In large bowl, combine all-purpose and whole wheat flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt and half the coconut. In separate bowl, whisk together brown sugar, egg, milk, banana, butter and vanilla. Stir in pineapple. Pour over dry ingredients and stir just until moistened.

Spoon into prepared pan; sprinkle tops with remaining coconut. Bake for 25 min or until tops are firm to the touch.
