Q: Can I substitute the coconut oil with another oil?
A: Yes, you can use vegetable oil, olive oil, or melted butter as a substitute for coconut oil. However, coconut oil adds a nice flavor and richness to the muffins.

Q: Can I make these muffins ahead of time?
A: Absolutely! These muffins can be baked in advance and stored in an airtight container for several days. They also freeze well, making them a great option for meal prep.

Q: How do I know when the muffins are done baking?
A: Test the muffins with a toothpick or cake tester. If it comes out clean or with just a few crumbs clinging to it, the muffins are done. If the toothpick comes out wet, bake for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Q: Can I make these muffins without cocoa powder?
A: Yes, you can omit the cocoa powder for a more traditional banana muffin flavor, or substitute it with an equal amount of additional shredded coconut for extra texture.
