Combining two topicals flavours like coconut and banana puts a new spin on a classic banana muffin.

I was running low on white flour and the grocery stores were also nearly out of flour so I decided to use a mixture of brown and white flour for this recipe. I even fooled my dad with these muffins, he couldn’t tell there was brown flour in these at all. Oats and walnuts are also mixed into this recipe to add a nice crunch. Crumble is usually made with butter, brown sugar and flour, this recipe I wanted to try something different so I combine coconut, brown sugar and coconut oil to make this crunchy top.
