A few weeks back I made jumbo apple streusel muffins, a cinnamon brown sugar apple muffin topped with crunchy pecan streusel. They were a big hit and gone quickly. My favorite desserts, baked goods and brunch treats often feature some kind of crunchy topping, so when I decided to bake a batch of chocolate banana muffins, I immediately thought about sprinkling something over the unbaked batter, and toasted coconut came to mind. Coconut pairs well with chocolate and bananas, so why not. The streusel includes some cocoa powder and brown sugar to add a chocolate and caramel taste package to wrap the toasted coconut in.
