Tropical Muffins


1 orange
1/2 cup raisins
1 banana
1/2 coconut flakes
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
1/2 cup sour cream


In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Scrub the orange and cut into wedges and remove seeds (leave the peel on). Place the orange wedges and raisins in a food processor or blender until mixture is chopped but remains coarse. Mix in banana and coconut flakes. Set aside.

Place eggs in a bowl and beat. Add sugar and mix well. Stir in the melted butter or margarine and the sour cream. Stir the orange mixture into the egg mixture and mix well.

Pour the mixture into the dry ingredients and mix just until the dry ingredients are moistened.

Place the batter into a greased muffin pan. Sprinkle the top of each muffin with coconut flakes. Bake at 325 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
