Super Moist Healthy Banana Muffins

I was looking to create a moist, healthy muffin and have adapted my original recipe that used white whole wheat flour. Coconut flour has 3 times the amount of fiber than whole wheat flour and you need to use less of it in recipes because of its super absorbency. But you have to add more moisture when using it, so eggs (or egg whites, I use both) do the job. These are delicious for breakfast with coffee or as an afternoon snack!

- 1/3 cup raw coconut flour, sifted
