Step by Step Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375F.
Step 2
Mix flours, baking soda, salt, and coconut in a small mixing bowl.
Step 3
If bananas are not ripe enough to be juicy when mashed, nuke them in the microwave for about 30 seconds.
Step 4
To the bananas, stir in the melted coconut oil and butter, the xylitol, molasses, eggs, and vanilla until mixed.
Step 5
Gently mix wet ingredients into the flour mixture and fold in pecans.
Step 6
Pour batter into a greased muffin tin or use cupcake liners. Sprinkle tops with more chopped pecans if you like.
Step 7
Bake for 15 minutes and test with a toothpick. If you can remove it clean, stop baking and allow to cool 5 minutes in pan, then finish cooling on a wire rack. If you need to bake more, do it one minute at a time, testing each time, so that you do not over-bake and end up with dry muffins.
