BANANA COCONUT CRUNCH MUFFINS

I love how a simple recipe of muffin turned into an healthy recipe.  All the ingredients work well together and not a single ingredient overpowers other .  A great combination of coconut which adds little sweetness while  granola and nuts add  crunchiness.  I love it when you all try my recipes and then creat your on version of them . Bake these healthy muffins and do share with me . http://www.instagram.com/signaturebites/ Happy baking!
