83. Tropical Banana Bread Muffins

From 2008 Southern Living Annual Recipes

A two-ingredient recipe? Sold! I love recipes that start with a box...and then have a twist.

These are blinged-up banana nut muffins...the chewy pieces of fruit are like little jewels inside. I loved the sweetness and texture it brought.

I brought these to my office, and one co-worker suggested adding coconut to the mix next time, which I think is a great idea.
