Instructions
Pre-heat the oven to 350 and spray a 24 well mini muffin very generously with the coconut cooking spray. Whisk the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, ground flax, cinnamon, mahlab and salt together in a large mixing bowl. Then whisk the mashed banana, milk, eggs and coconut extract together in another bowl. Pour those wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk it all together until it is a smooth batter. Switch to a spatula and fold in the shredded coconut and granola.
Scoop enough batter into each mini muffin well to pretty much fill them to the top. Bake them for 15-20 minutes, until they are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out cleanly. Let them cool for 5 minutes, then turn the tin out onto a cooling rack to let them cool completely. Serve immediately and store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days! Enjoy!!
