Pineapple Coconut Banana Muffins

Baking is a little bit tricky here.

This house has three sets of teacups (hello, UK), but no measuring cups or spoons. I ordered a set within two days of arriving.

And I spend a lot of time googling the conversion rates between grams and ounces and cups, and also Fahrenheit to Celsius.

Also, I broke down and ordered a muffin tin (a half-size one because this oven is a little smaller than normal and I can’t fit a regular cookie sheet in, so I was concerned about a 12-cup muffin tin). Have I mentioned how much I love Amazon UK?

So, it took me a long time to get around to doing any actual baking in this house.

When I finally made these, I said to Bart, “It’s been WAY too long since we had any baked goods.”

(Obviously, of the home-cooked variety. I think it goes without saying that we’ve had PLENTY of baked goods of the “chocolate croissant from a bakery” variety since late August).

I don’t know if it was because these pineapple coconut banana muffins were so ludicrously good (which they were!) or because we were all so starved for home-cooked carbs, but we ate the entire batch in one morning.
