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!

Waking up and finding this in my email box was fantastic-hello breakfast muffins!!!

HA! I Hope they were good!
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
They’re very moist. Experiment at your leisure!
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!
haha yeah that’s a tough gig! I use mine when they’re starting to get a little weepy.
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!
I hate bananas, but I’ll eat these!
I love me a muffin and i do love all sorts of berries i bought Raspberries yesterday i might pop them in the freezer though so when I need them they will not be all icky.
I do that! It’s so good.
Looks right up my alley – the markets had three punnets for $5 yesterday so maybe I should do some baking
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!
haha I figured it was you! I make white-chocolate chip and raspberry cookies, so you’re in good company!
They look so scrummy! Definitely one to make with my son. 🙂
I hope he likes them!
Yum! I love muffins! You’re right, perfect for using up old bananas!
I have been known to put them in EVERYTHING.
Healthy and Delicious – I Love em!
It’s a good combination!
