Chocolate, coconut and banana muffins – Lovely Leftovers

With half a can of coconut milk and three spotty bananas I thought we’d try chucking them in all together and tarting it up a bit with some chocolate.  To be honest you can’t taste the coconut much, but at least it didn’t get thrown away and the muffins were lovely and moist. This was a recipe for the boys. They set about mashing the bananas and then ate almost 50% of them whilst I was measuring out flour. They were also good at stirring in the chocolate. They were great served with a cappuccino or a bambinoccino. We also had them for pudding that night covered in custard, nom, nom, nom.
