Toffee Banana Coconut Muffins are the perfect breakfast (or snack) choice to have with your morning coffee.
This weekend we got some snow…
maybe about 5 inches.
It was more than enough for me.
I’m kind of a snow grinch.
Definitely can do without it!!!
Although one of my sister in law’s
pointed out the benefit of cold weather…
cute boots and coats:-)
So, my kids begged us to go sledding.
I almost didn’t go…
because of my aversion to being cold.
But I overcame my cold fears…
it was only an hour after all.
I can do that!!! For the kids:-)
But now I am sick!!!!
Whoever said fresh air is good for you…
LIED!!!
I was perfectly fine before sledding.
Then after we got home…
I could totally feel it coming on.
1 hour of fresh freezing air and I have a cold!
And I only went down the hill once!
So, I can’t blame it on rolling in the snow!!!
Bllllaaaaahhhhh!!!
Zicam to the rescue…
but that didn’t work either.
I might have to cut my head off
to feel better.
Or I could just eat about a
dozen more of these banana muffins
while I rest on the couch watching 90210 reruns.
Comfort food people!!!
Make these soon…
you won’t regret it!!!!

Oh man these look good. I hate cold and snow too. And big puffy coats make me look fat. Hehe.
These look great with the toffee and chocolate chips! I am with you, not liking this cold, we have rain. I just want to hibernate today! Hope you feel better soon!
What an incredible combination!!! A lot of my favorite things wrapped up in one little muffin….sweet!

Zicam didn’t work? The travesty! I love that stuff. Almost as much as I love chocolate. I hope you’re feeling better and stuffing yourself with yummy muffins to make the cold go away.
I can “appreciate” a little dusting of snow, but I’m happy when it melts away!
These look divine!! Pinning and tweeting these, for sure!
These look super yummy!
hmmm…sounds absolutely divine

Delicious. Cannot wait to try this recipe. They look so moist and yummy. Come visit. We have a terrific chili recipe today.
These look amazing! I’ve never had that combination together.
Ahhh, get well soon! These look so yummy. I find banana super comforting
That stinks! I hope you feel better. I usually get out of sledding by hiding in the car with a book. Hey…I drove my kids to the sled hill…that counts for something right? LOL We finally got about 2 inches here, but it supposed to be 50 degrees tomorrow. Goodbye snow!
I’m right there with you on cold weather. I think I’m the only one in SC hoping for NO snow.
Sorry to hear you’re sick! I think those muffins will definitely help. I’d be having some myself if I weren’t on a low carb diet. Needless to say, your blog is tempting me on a regular basis. That’s okay though… I’ll just pick a recipe to try when I’m ready for a carby treat.
Hope you feel better – I am sure you will if you are eating these yummy treats! I hated snow so moved away from it. Now I miss it a little. Call me crazy. Usually we get one snow a year and that is perfect. No snow yet this year – I need my fix!
that is exactly why I refuse to leave the house in the winter. I’d be such a hermit if i didn’t have to take the kids places.
These muffins sound wonderful.
What a great recipe, and perfect timing! I have so many bananas in my freezer, they are falling out when I open the door! Can’t wait to make this recipe! I am having my first ever Super Bowl linky party. Stop by at http://www.thefreshmancook.blogspot.com/2012/01/super-bowl-eats-treats-blog-party.html

Awww…I’m sorry you had to pay a high price for a day in the snow.
I always get a little twinge of jealousy when I hear about sledding or ice skating on a pond, or building a snowman…but ultimately I’m glad to be in a snow free zone. I’m sure I’d be a colossal snow grinch (a Yeti?) if I did!
Your muffins look divine, and I always enjoy a serving of your good writing and witty anecdotes that go with your creative recipes!
