Banana Walnut Muffins

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 sticks butter, melted and cooled
2 large eggs
3/4 cup whole milk
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 mashed ripe bananas
1 cup small-diced walnuts
1 cup granola
1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Line 24 muffin cups with paper liners. Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into the bowl. Add the melted butter and blend. Combine the eggs, milk, vanilla, and mashed bananas, and add them to the flour-and-butter mixture. Scrape the bowl and blend well. Don't overmix.

Fold the walnuts, granola, and coconut into the batter. Spoon the batter into the paper liners, filling each 2/3 full. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the tops are brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Cool slightly, remove from the pan, and serve.
