Banana Pineapple Coconut Muffins

Start your day off with some wonderful ingredients from the tropics! My Banana Pineapple Coconut Muffins are simply yummy to enjoy for breakfast with eggs, an omelette or quiche. They’re also great with a cup of Earl Grey for afternoon tea. Additionally, whenever I serve cakes, breads or dishes with banana, my husband likes me to mix in a little bit of pineapple. I made these muffins for a special Father’s Day breakfast. They were sooooo delicious! Enjoy!

(Note: To make these muffins gluten free, Whole Foods sells The Pure Pantry‘s gluten free Organic All Purpose Baking Mix that you can substitute for flour. The mix is gluten free, dairy free, soy, nut and egg free! It’s made with organic brown rice flour, corn flour and tapioca flour, etc.

Banana Pineapple Coconut muffins are inspired by the place my family loves – Hawaii!
