    Island Explosion Muffins

    There is something to be said for a good blueberry muffin.  I love them warm and toasty out of the oven.  But sometimes I want something more. Something new and interesting.  These Island Explosions Muffins are anything but ordinary.

    These muffins make me think of beaches, islands, and all things tropical.  I think it is the coconut that makes me think of the islands the most. It’s like a mini vacation when you eat one!

    The great part about this recipe is that it doesn’t take much time to make.  You start with a simple, basic muffin batter.  Then you add all of the tropical goodness!

    We love the combination of the bananas, craisins, coconut, and pineapple. We like to add different types of nuts, but that’s optional.

    The fruit keeps these muffins so moist.  No dry muffins here!  I also like all of the different textures.

    If you need a mini vacation to the islands, whip up these tasty muffins and let your imagination take you there!
