1 egg
2/3 cup sugar
6 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 bananas
1-1/2 cups flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup diced strawberries

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, add sugar and egg.
Mix together on medium speed until combined.
Add melted butter and vanilla to bowl.
Mix together on medium speed until combined.
Add bananas to egg mixture.
Mix together on medium speed until bananas are broken up and well combined.
In a separate bowl, add flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
Whisk together to combine.
Add strawberries to flour mixture. Toss gently to coat.
Add flour mixture to egg mixture.
Mix together on low speed until just combined.
Line muffin tin with muffin liners.
Using a large cookie scoop, add batter to muffin tin.
OPTIONAL: Top each mound of batter with a slice of strawberry and banana.
Bake until golden brown, 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the muffin comes out clean.
Cool 2 minutes in the pan before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

TIP: I love to use bananas that are nearly black on the outside as they tend to be super sweet and flavorful.

TIP: Tossing the strawberries in flour insures that the strawberries don’t sink to the bottom of your muffins.

TIP: These parchment muffin baking cups from Paper Chef are my favorite as I’ve never had a muffin or cupcake stick using them!

TIP: Using a cookie scoop insures muffins that are all of a uniform size. I don’t make muffins without using one!

TIP: I love to garnish the batter before baking as it gives the muffins a more bakery worthy appearance and also gives people a hint as to what flavor the muffins are without needing to ask!
