TIPS + TRICKS
+ Sprinkling muffins with sugar before they’re baked gives them a crunchy golden crust.
+ Muffins freeze well – once cool, wrap them in plastic wrap and freeze. Thaw for lunchboxes or easy afternoon tea.

Just made this to use up a heap of banana’s - easy and simple. Used half coconut sugar to half caster sugar to reduce the sweetness in the muffin mix (lots added with the banana) and give a more caramel flavour

Love this basic muffin mix, so simple and versatile.
The banana coconut muffins were the best I’ve ever tasted and so say all of us!
Many thanks. Love all your work Donna and team.♡
