- Sift the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the oats and brown
- sugar. Stir. To the flour/oat mixture add the melted coconut oil. Using a wooden spoon, mix well (the batter will
- be thick).
- In a small bowl, whisk the eggs, yogurt, vanilla bean paste and mashed bananas until combined. Pour into
- flour mixture and stir in, gently, until ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Gently fold in the diced bananas, walnuts, 1 C (113g) granola and coconut until all ingredients are distributed.
- The batter should be thick.
- Using a measuring scoop, scoop ¼ C (82g) into each muffin cup. Or use a overfilled large cookie scoop (#20)

- Bake for 2530 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. The tops of the muffins should be golden and
- some dark golden brown.
- Remove muffins from pan about 10 minutes out of the oven. Cool completely on cooling wrack.
- Store in a covered container for up to two days or freeze in a freezer proof container or freezer storage bags.
Notes
*Storebought granola may be used (with no dried fruit), but the muffins will be sweeter due to increased sugar content.
