How to Make Banana Coconut Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs until light and frothy.
  3. Add 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/3 cup vegetable oil to the eggs. Beat well until combined.
  4. Mash 2 ripe bananas with a fork and add them to the wet ingredients along with 1 teaspoon almond extract. Mix until just combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut, and 1/2 cup chopped maraschino cherries.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
