Bread Recipe ⋇ Blueberry Banana Coconut Flax Muffins

When the local library ladies asked me to send them the recipe for the muffins that I'd brought to story time, I realized I'd created something special. They were enjoyed by the kids and adults alike. Delicious and wholesome, the coconut, banana, and flax add a little something extra to the boring old blueberry muffin.

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups quick-cooking rolled oats
• 1 cup ground flax seed
• 1 cup white sugar
• ⅓ cup sweetened flaked coconut
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 ½ cups mashed ripe banana
• 1 cup sour cream
• ½ cup applesauce
• ½ cup melted butter
• 2 eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups fresh blueberries

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 24 muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners.
2. Whisk together flour, oats, flax, sugar, coconut, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
3. Whisk together bananas, sour cream, applesauce, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla in a large bowl. Stir flour mixture into banana mixture just until all dry ingredients are moistened; fold in blueberries. Fill muffin cups 2/3 full.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
