EASY AND ELEGANT BANANA COCONUT BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 360 F.
• Grease the 9x13 baking dish. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl combine sugar and egg. Mix on low speed with a hand-held mixer for 1 minute. Add melted butter. Mix on low for another 1 minute. Add flour, baking powder, and salt. Knead the dough only until it comes together. Do not over knead it. It should be very soft, pliable and slightly sticky. You can either roll out the dough with the rolling pin and transfer it to a baking dish. Or spread it in the baking dish using your fingers. Bake in the middle of the oven for 12 minutes.
• In the same medium bowl combine coconut flakes, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk. Mix until everything comes together and hold the shape when you squeeze it.
• Peel all bananas, cut in half and split.
• Remove baking dish from oven and place it on a towel. While still warm arrange all banana slices starting from the shorter edge of the baking dish. Lightly press bananas into the dough. Spread the coconut filling evenly, gently pressing on top of the bananas. Sprinkle with the fancy large coconut flakes.
• Bake in the middle of the oven for 23 minutes.
• Remove from oven. Let it cool completely. Cut bars into desired shapes.

BANANA AND COCONUT NO-BAKE ENERGY BITE

Steps:

• In a large bowl mix together all the ingredients (except the extra optional coconut).
• Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours or until the batter is firm enough to roll into balls.
• Roll into 20 balls. Most likely you'll need to keep your hands wet as you roll the batter into balls. This prevents the oats from sticks and hold all the ingredients together.
• If you'd like the energy bites can be rolled in extra shredded coconut.
• Place in a container and refrigerator for up to 5 days. These energy bites can also be frozen up to 3 months.

BANANA COCONUT MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. If necessary, grease all 12 cups of your muffin tin with butter or muffin liners (my pan is non-stick and didn't require any grease).

• In a separate, medium bowl, whisk together the mashed banana, coconut oil, honey, egg and vanilla.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Divide the batter evenly between the muffin cups (a scant 1/4 cup batter each), then sprinkle the muffin tops with the remaining 1/4 cup shredded coconut. Sprinkle the tops with the raw sugar.
• Bake for about 17 to 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Transfer muffins to a cooling rack and let them cool.
