I made up a batch of Strawberry Banana Muffins for our church’s youth group one Wednesday night for their weekly program. I added a few other flavors, including blueberry, chocolate chip, cinnamon chip & butterscotch. All of the muffins were gobbled down in no time. Truly, this basic recipe is fantastic. I’ve made it up with SO MANY different combinations and it works no matter what I add or change up.
These delectable muffins freeze well and are wonderful with your morning coffee. Set them out the night before to defrost and voila! You’ll have a delicious sweet treat to enjoy. Great snacks for tailgating parties or other sporting events too.
Strawberry Banana Muffins are outrageously good!
These muffins puff up beautifully and have excellent texture.
Strawberry Banana Muffins are great to serve for an office breakfast or brunch too.
Every bite will knock your socks off!
Here’s what I did.
I used these ingredients.
Pour unbleached flour into a mixing bowl. (Bleached flour toughens baked goods). Add granulated sugar, baking powder and salt.
Stir ingredients to combine; set aside.
Mash bananas on a plate with a fork. I usually use two large or three small/medium bananas; set aside. If you end up with a little more than one cup of mashed bananas, that’s okay. Just toss it all into the bowl when mixing.
Place applesauce, oil, mashed bananas, egg and half-and-half in a medium mixing bowl.
Whisk ingredients to combine.
Add banana mixture to flour mixture.
Add strawberries.
Stir just to combine; don’t overmix the batter.
Spray muffin tins with cooking spray. Spoon batter into the muffin tins until almost full.
Bake at 400 degrees about 17-18 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Allow muffins to cool in pan about 5-10 minutes before transferring to cooling racks to cool completely. Serve for breakfast, lunch or dinner!
Every bite is heavenly!
Strawberries are excellent in muffins.
Strawberry Banana Muffins are perfect for baby showers and bridal showers too. Here’s some made in miniature muffin tins.
