Did you know that Macadamia nuts are hand-picked? This is pretty incredible considering roughly 50 million pounds of macadamia nuts are hand-picked from Hawai'i each year. Knowing this gives us a greater appreciation for this creamy and flavorful nut. We like to make these muffins for breakfast, but if you want them for dessert be sure to add chocolate chips.

Ingredients:

- 3 bananas (the browner the sweeter)
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup of plain greek yogurt
- 2 cup of oats (we use Bob's Red Mill GF rolled oats)
- 2-3 tablespoons of honey
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 2-3 teaspoons of cinnamon
- 1 cup crushed macadamia nuts
- 1/4 cup of dried, unsweetened coconut flakes
- cooking spray
- muffin cups (optional)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400F.

2. Line muffin pan with muffins cups (or not). Either way, be sure to use cooking spray.

3. Mash three peeled bananas in a large bowl then add oats and yogurt.

4. Mix together then add in eggs, mac nuts, coconut, honey, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

5. Bake for 18-20 minutes.

6. Let cool for 10 minutes.

Note: This recipe makes 16-18 muffins. Muffins are best stored at room temperature in a container enclosed with a paper towel.
