Servings 12
Ingredients
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp. baking soda
- ½ tsp. baking powder
- ¼ tsp. sea salt
- 4 oz. unsalted butter softened
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 egg large
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 3 ripe bananas medium-sized
- 1 cup fresh strawberries diced
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 ℉.
- In a bowl, measure out the organic all-purpose flour and mix in the baking soda, baking powder, and sea salt using a hand whisker stir to combine and set aside.
- In another bowl, beat softened butter and sugar until the mixture is mixed well.
- Then add a large egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and beat all together until they are well combined.
- Add mashed bananas to the mixture and beat well until the bananas are fully incorporated and there are no clumps.
- Mix in dry ingredients prepared earlier to the banana mixture. Stir these ingredients together with a spoon until they are all well combined.
- Finally, gently mix in diced fresh strawberries.
- Distribute the batter evenly between 12 liners in a muffin pan and bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Always make sure your bananas are ripe. They should have brown spots on the skin and be soft to the touch. This will make them easier to mash and give your muffins a sweeter flavor.
- Gently fold the diced strawberries into the batter. This will help prevent them from breaking apart and turning your batter pink. It also ensures that each muffin has an even distribution of strawberries.
- Allow the muffins to cool completely on a wire rack after baking. This helps them retain their moisture and prevents the bottoms from becoming soggy.
- Serve these muffins with a dollop of whipped cream or a side of fresh fruit for a delicious breakfast or snack.
