What do you do with left over papaya? You make muffins of course!
Papaya and coconut give these low fat muffins a tropical flair. If you can’t take a trip to the tropics, bring the tropics to your kitchen!
These are moist and wonderful from the minute they come out of the oven. If you can’t find papaya in your market, ripe mango would work too.
