These were the best muffins I've made in a very long time! I used dried unsweetened coconut, real rum and fresh pineapple. Awesome in January when we'd rather be on a Caribbean beach...thank you!

Love this recipe! Best muffins I have ever had. I took the suggestions others made and made a couple changes. I used 1tsp of vanilla rather than the rum extract, 2 bananas, 15 1/2 oz can of crushed pineapple drained, 1cup of packed coconut and on top of the muffins put some brown sugar and coconut. Awesome! Great recipe.

I just loved these muffins, if you are making these make sure you use the rum ~ it really is what gives these the extra kick. I did tweak this recipe a little. I only had 2 bananas, so had to use just those. I used a mixture of white and brown sugar. I increased the rum extract to 1.5 tablespoons and the coconut I used 1/2 powdered coconut (from the asian store) and 1/2 shredded. I did'nt like the look of these muffins so decided to use my own coconut streutsel ( 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon white sugar, 3 tablespoons sweetened flaked coconut, 2 tablespoons butter simply mix all the ingredients together and put to one side). Once I filled the muffin papers to 3/4 full I added streutsel mixture to the top before putting in the oven, they really did give the finished muffins a m ore professional look. Like other reviews stated this recipe makes approx 18 good size muffins!

My husband liked them and he does not like my cooking. I thought they were a bit dry. Any suggestions

THESE WERE AWESOME! I used slightly less brown sugar than called for (and may alter it next time to use honey or agave instead as I prefer not to eat 'sugar', anyone have any suggestions on making the modification???) and used canned tidbit pineapple chopped into bits. Mmmmmmmm. These were very tropically and moist. I didn't taste too much of the coconut sadly, so next time I may omit the flaked coconut altogether and add 1/2 rum extract and 1/2 coconut extract instead. My husband is 'not a muffin fan', which he told me today after ten years of couplehood, ha ha, and he thought they were not moist enough. I told him I don't care, that I'll be making these often for myself. Today in fact, because I have some pineapple left over! :) Don't worry, I'll still find something to bake for him...but I'm glad I get these all to myself!

Dry and cloyingly sweet. I couldn't get past the first bite. Definitely deceiving because they look so much better than they taste! The flavor of banana is prominent but the rum, coconut and pineapple flavors are all but lost in that of sugar. I was also disappointed that the yield was totally off. One recipe made 21 good-sized muffins, not 12. I realize the given yield can only be an approximation, but this wasn't even close. I didn't need that many. I wasn't prepared for that many. The recipe was good...in theory. The real thing will be tossed.
