Coconut Banana Muffins
/Alright, I’ve hit the part of winter where I’m losing motivation to go outside. I don’t want to ski or build a snowman, I want to sit on the beach in the sunshine. I want to go outside with one layer of clothes, rather than six. We’re getting there, right? I’m not a naive Duluthian. I’ve lived here all my life; I know we’ll probably get three more snow days before Spring comes at the end of May, but I can hope. In the meantime, maybe I’ll invest in some more houseplants. That always makes me feel cheerful. Or I could visit the Sun Spot. I’ve never tried Duluth’s mobile spot to combat winter blues but I think it might be just what I need.
These muffins are so delicious. Everyone in my family loved them. And I loved knowing the kids were eating them with all those good ingredients. I will probably double the batch next time because this one did not last nearly long enough.
