Pumpkin, Applesauce & Coconut Muffins

Inspired by my love of the Hawaiian Islands, the backdrop to my Kate Grace novel series, Pumpkin, Applesauce & Coconut Muffins are simply delicious, moist, and flavorful. They are definitely something that my character Kate Grace would find at one of her favorite places – The Plumeria Café.
