Preparation

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.

Tips

In place of crushed pineapple, substitute pineapple tidbits, drained and chopped.

For the Adventurous: Add 1 tbsp (15 mL) minced gingerroot to batter for a kick.
