We got record-breaking snowfall here in NW Arkansas and I decided to get creative with the ripe bananas I had.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

These banana chocolate chip muffins with coconut are moist, tender, and delicious. Made with basic ingredients, they're a tasty way to use ripe bananas. There are bits of chocolate chips in each bite. Shredded coconut on top adds texture and flavor. As these muffins bake, the coconut gets crisp and a nice contrast to the soft muffin. These are an alternative to banana bread and a great breakfast on-the-go option.
