A Recipe and a Read: Tasty Banana Coconut Muffins and a Time Travel Romance Romp by Author Stella May...

This is a wonderful recipe my family enjoys with breakfast or as a snack. Not only are the muffins nutritious, but they're also easy to prepare, taste great, and freeze beautifully. I hope you enjoy these oven gems as much as we do. 

Banana Coconut Muffins

2 ripe bananas

2 large eggs, or 3 small

⅓ cup sugar⅓ cup oil (I use sunflower oil)

1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1 cup plain yogurt

1 tbsp. vanilla

Pinch of salt

1 tsp. baking powder

2 cups almond flour

1 cup chocolate chips, optional

1 cup chopped nuts (any type), optional

Preheat oven to 350° F.

Mix eggs with sugar, then add all ingrediencies through baking powder.

Stir in almond flour. The mixture is supposed to be a consistency of sour cream. Add chocolate chips and nuts if you choose to use them.

Prepare a cookie sheet with lightly oiled baking cups. Spoon mixture into cups.

Bake 30-40 minutes, depending on your oven. Muffins are ready when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. You can also use this recipe in a loaf pan to make Banana Coconut Bread. Bake at the same temperature for approximately 55 – 60 minutes. Either way, cool completely then enjoy.

Here's a little to intrigue you on Stella May's latest time travel romance.

After months of working like a woman possessed, Nika Morris kept her promise. Coleman House is finished. It’s gorgeous. Spectacular. Brilliant.

It’s breaking her heart.

Because once the new owners move in, she’ll be cut off from the time portal to 1909, where she met and fell in love with Eli Coleman. Now stranded in her own time, she’s waited months for the key to reappear in its hiding place. Only it hasn’t. Which means Eli must have believed the terrible things she was accused of.

Back in 1909, Eli is stunned at his best friend’s deathbed confession of a shocking betrayal. Nika—his Daisy, his time-traveling wonder—was innocent. Once he finds the key, he wastes no time stepping through the portal, determined to make things right.

But the moment Eli stumbles into her shiny, noisy, confusing future, he realizes reconciliation won’t be simple. There is more than one emotional bridge to rebuild before he and Nika can return to the time their love was born—and live their destiny out to the fullest.
