These muffins are full of coconut, macadamia nuts, bananas and pineapple. Serve them warm with the light and fluffy fruit spread.


   MUFFINS
   2 cups all-purpose flour
   3/4 cup fortified whole bran cereal with oat bran or fortified whole bran cereal
   1/2 cup coconut
   2 teaspoons baking powder
   1 teaspoon cinnamon
   1 (3 1/2-ounce) jar macadamia nuts, chopped, if desired
   1/2 cup margarine or butter, softened
   1 cup sugar
   1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
   3 eggs
   3/4 cup (about 2 medium) mashed ripe bananas
   2 teaspoons vanilla extract
   1 (8-ounce) can crushed pineapple in unsweetened juice, drained
   
   FRUIT SPREAD*
   1/2 cup margarine or butter, softened
   1/3 cup low-calorie fresh pineapples, fruit spread, preserves or jam


Heat oven to 350°F. Line with paper baking cups or grease bottoms only of 22 regular-sized muffin cups or 12 jumbo muffin cups. In large bowl, combine flour, cereal, coconut, baking powder, cinnamon and macadamia nuts; mix well.

In another large bowl, combine 1/2 cup margarine, sugar and brown sugar; beat until light and fluffy. Add eggs; blend well. Stir in mashed bananas, vanilla and pineapple; blend well. Add to dry ingredients all at once; stir until dry ingredients are just moistened. Fill greased muffin cups 2/3 full.

Bake at 350°F. for 20 to 30 minutes or until light golden brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 2 minutes; remove from pans. In small bowl, combine fruit spread ingredients at low speed until well blended. Serve with muffins.

*TIP: To make cream-cheese fruit spread, substitute 8-oz. pkg. reduced-fat cream cheese, softened, for margarine. Increase pineapple spread to 1/2 cup. Prepare as directed above.

HIGH ALTITUDE - Above 3,500 feet: Decrease sugar to 3/4 cup. Bake as directed above.
