Am excited! Am blogging again after almost ten months! So much has happened in the last few months…life changes that I would need a whole other blog post to write about and I will in time. For now I am just happy to be back, blogging with my Sunday Supper Team as we celebrate Sunday Supper Month! Three years back I am proud to say I was part of the first Sunday Supper team that started the very first virtual supper. Since then Sunday Supper has grown to this wonderful large group of bloggers from around the world that create a kaleidoscope of recipes!
The recipe I am making is a melt in mouth muffin that has more fruit than flour! Pineapple, coconut and bananas make the base for this muffin. I used gluten free oat flour but you can use any flour that you want. I also used some coconut oil which made it very flavorful and coco nutty! The muffins were a little flat, mainly because there was so much fruit and not so much flour! I did not add any sugar coz the pineapple and banana were sweet enough but you can add some if you want a sweeter muffin! All in all, I was very pleased with the product and saw proof when my kids tore the muffins apart!
