Ingredients

  • 0.5 teaspoon double-acting baking powder 
  • teaspoon baking soda 
  • medium banana 
  • cup brown sugar 
  • 0.5 cup butter 
  • cup coconut or shredded
  • 0.5 cup pineapple dried chopped
  • large eggs 
  • cups flour all-purpose
  • tablespoon rum extract 
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt 

Equipment

  • bowl
  • oven
  • toothpicks
  • muffin liners

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare 12 muffin cups with paper liners.
  2. Sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into a bowl; set aside. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then beat in the bananas and rum extract. Stir in the flour mixture. Fold in the shredded coconut and pineapple; mixing just enough to evenly distribute. Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups.
  3. Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.
