Strawberry Banana Muffins, with a kick.
Description
I made some yummy- tastic muffins tonight. Like the best muffins i thin i have ever made. These blow my blueberry muffins out of the water, hands down.
I have adapted them from Crepes of Wrath’s recipie.
While making these i thought it would be spectacular to add in some blueberries to make these extra kicky.
Again, awesome.
Prep:
Mash your banana and set aside (this will help it soften up, if its not a over ripe banana)
cut up a bunch of strawberries (enough for 1.5 cups. they dont have to be small either, just chunked)
2 1/4 cup of flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, diced (I used frozen)
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 stick of butter, melted
2 large ripe bananas, mashed
1 teaspoon vanilla
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a muffin pan with cooking spray and/or use muffin cups.
2. In a large bowl combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. After mixing, gently fold in the strawberries, making sure to coat them with flour – this helps prevent the berries from sinking while baking (if you are using frozen strawberries, make sure that you’ve thoroughly drained them/gotten rid of as much juice as you can).
3. In another large bowl, combine the brown sugar, eggs, butter, bananas, and vanilla until mixed thoroughly. Slowly combine the wet mixture into the dry mixture, stir until just combined – do not over mix the batter or you will have tough muffins.
4. Fill the muffin tray with the batter, place in the oven and bake for 22-25 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Hey, I forgot to tell you - I tried these, but subbed one of the cups of white flour with whole wheat. they were really yummy! super good with lot of butter on them!
PS - when making this recipe - it is wise to advice doubling it when you have three voracious children and an even more voracious husband, or when you bake them at 8pm, there won’t be enough leftover for breakfast the next morning. i must remember that for next time.
