Delicious Banana Coconut Cupcakes

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Banana Coconut Cupcakes.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C). While the oven warms up, take a moment to line 16 muffin cups with cheerful paper liners, setting the stage for your delicious cupcakes.

2. Step 2

   In a mixing bowl, combine the white sugar, olive oil, egg, and vanilla extract. Beat these ingredients together until the mixture is light in color and creamy, creating a lovely base for your cupcakes.

3. Step 3

   Next, gently fold in the mashed bananas and shredded coconut, stirring until everything is well combined. The aroma of ripe bananas will fill your kitchen, making it hard to resist tasting the batter!

4. Step 4

   In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Gradually mix this dry blend into the banana mixture, stirring until the batter is smooth and inviting.

5. Step 5

   Now, it's time to spoon the luscious batter into your prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. This will allow them to rise beautifully in the oven.

6. Step 6

   Place the muffin tray in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes. Keep an eye on them, and when a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, they’re ready to shine!

7. Step 7

   Once baked, let the cupcakes cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. The anticipation will be worth it when you take that first bite!
