Banana Muffins with White Chocolate and Macadamia Nuts

I kind of enjoy baking while on vacation, especially when I have access to some fun tropical ingredients. It’s easy to be inspired by the local produce produce. Last time we were in Maui, I made Lemon Coconut Scones and Maui Mango Ginger Granita. These were a great breakfast treat and the macadamia nuts added a nice crunch to each bite.

I took these shots down at the beach in front of where we are staying. This little crab totally posed for my pictures.

Thanks, you are too sweet. Nothing's wrong – 205 is correct. But with such great followers as you, why would I need more? 🙂

1. What is the cup size? I always tried Turkish blog's recipes and i cant be sure it is the same size or sth else. 2. Is it okey if i use strained yogurt?

I hope they turned out for you. 1 cup is 8 fluid ounces. And Turkish yogurt would be perfect!

I made your banana choc chip muffins this a.m., it's my go-to muffin recipe and I put different add-ins based on what I've got. This muffin recipe is a little different but sounds good too!!

It's totally based on that recipe. This is a lot sweeter with the white Choc, almost more of a dessert.
