1 tablespoon vanilla or coconut extract
add:
1 cup mashed very ripe bananas
1 cup mashed ripe papaya or mango
1 can (8 oz) crushed pineapple in juice, undrained
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel

in a large bowl, sift together:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 tablespoon nutmeg
add:
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup shredded coconut
1/2 cup mini-chocolate chips
1 cup chopped toasted pecans or macademia nuts

bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
Remove the muffins from the pan and cool on a wire rack.

Yummy sounds good. Question on it, wondered if you could put applesauce or something else instead of the mango . Although I do like mangos and papaya, I don't usually have them on hand,
thanks

just try, but why not?
I always leave the coconut out, because I don't like it and it still tastes wonderful..

but in Germany it's not difficult to get mangos at almost every supermarket or food store..
