Peanut and coconut muffins
These muffins are so decadent that they will flood your brain with dopamine and you won't be able to stop yourself from gobbling them up. The muffin is a sort of sponge cake with mashed bananas and coconut milk, and the frosting a simple mix of margarine, peanut butter and icing sugar. It is a killer, so I don't make it too often!
