Banana Coconut Muffins

This is my first try at roasting ripe banana's.  All the hype about the increased intensity of flavor is true.  400 degrees for 20 minutes does the trick.

 Baker Street Blog  has a list of different combinations, nuts, berries etc. that can be added to this basic recipe.  These have the roasted banana's, pecan's, mini chips and coconut.

Ingredients
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup sweetened flaked coconut
Instructions
1. Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375°F. Line muffin cups with liners.
