Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 12-cup muffin tin with grease or paper liners. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. This ensures even distribution of the leavening agents. (5 minutes)

03

Step

In a separate large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, sugar, melted butter, egg, rum extract, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined. (3 minutes)

04

Step

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Gently fold in the drained pineapple chunks and 1/2 cup of the shredded coconut. (3 minutes)

06

Step

Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of shredded coconut evenly over the tops of the muffins. (5 minutes)

07

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. (25-30 minutes)

08

Step

Let the muffins cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (10 minutes)

For a richer flavor, use browned butter instead of melted butter.
If you don't have rum extract, you can substitute with an equal amount of pineapple juice or omit it entirely.
Store these muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
