Half Dozen High Top Banana Muffins

High Top Banana Muffins were kind of a happy accident. I was trying to use up some ingredients including one over-ripe banana, some coconut Greek yogurt and bleached flour I bought back when unbleached was scarce. Using what was on hand including my six cup muffin pan, I made six muffins that looked like this.

They had super high tops and were just so pretty! Their texture was lighter than other banana muffins, and they were about average sweetness. Next time I'll use plain or vanilla yogurt rather than coconut, but if you like a hint of coconut with your banana you could stick with the coconut yogurt

This may not be the most exciting recipe in the world, but it's always nice to have a banana bread or banana muffin recipe that uses just one banana.  So now if you have one over-ripe banana sitting around you can use it to make six muffins! And while I'm on the subject, these banana muffins made with mayonnaise are also surprisingly good. They don't have as high tops as the ones here, but the mayonnaise gives them a moist and light texture.
