Don’t we all crave a tropical treat in the middle of winter? These aloha muffins are just the thing to get you through another dreary winter day. They’re full of fresh mango and pineapple, and the coconut and lime zest give them a wonderful flavor.
My kids adore these muffins. Yesterday, my son skeptically asked, “Are these healthy, mom?” If that’s not success, I don’t know what is. These muffins are a healthy snack that you can feel good about eating. But I should warn you. They may make you want to plan a vacation to somewhere tropical.
