Banana-Strawberry Muffins

September 18, 2013 by Stacey 22 Comments

strawberry-banana-muffins

Hot damn do I love a muffin! Not the cakey ones, the muffiny ones (you know what I mean, right?). They’re so handy for using up ripe bananas, and so portable. They’re also pretty hard to screw up, and easy to make with the kids.

I change it up our muffin fillings all the time, and seeing as we had a glut of strawberries this year (I really don’t like the word glut, but it is so apt!) and while I froze what I could, I have the smallest freezer known to mankind. To banana strawberry muffins they must go!

Description

Delicious little morsels of muffiny goodness – the best way to use up ripe banana and strawberries. Easily frozen, perfect for lunchboxes.


Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 punnet strawberries
  • 2 very ripe bananas
  • 1/4 cup raw organic sugar (more if you like them a little sweeter)
  • 100g butter, melted
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup plain yogurt
  • 1.5 cups wholemeal self-raising flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 cup wheatgerm (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180C
  2. Mash strawberries in a large bowl. Add bananas and mash them too.
  3. Add egg, yogurt, butter and sugar and stir to combine.
  4. Fold in flour, baking powder and wheatgerm, and stir to combine.
  5. Fill muffin trays almost to the top (I use the silicone ones) and bake 20-25 minutes until golden.

    Muffins elude me. I just can’t ever seem to get them right: too dry or to soggy. I must try your very good recipe. X

    I love baked goods with strawberries in them but I just can’t justify buying $6 Melbourne strawerries and then baking them! These look amazing though!

    Yum! I do love a good muffin too – and anything banana is a-ok with me! I made banana-raspberry bread the other day and I think it lasted about 2 hours in my house! Can’t wait til the strawberries start ripening in our tiny front yard veggie patch!

      Yes I buy things like that and then have to use them up when we can’t eat them fast enough!

    I just made a strawberry yogurt cake with Toddler C!
    He is becoming quite the little cake baker.
    I spoiled both of us this time by stirring in some white chocolate chip.
    This is Caitlin by the way…I made a new Disqus login for HB and now I can’t seem to switch back!
