Ingredients

Scale

Fruits

  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup sugar (adjustable)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup melted butter or oil (coconut oil or plant-based oil for dairy-free option)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Start by mashing your ripe bananas in a mixing bowl and chopping fresh strawberries into small pieces. Measure out all other ingredients so everything is ready to go.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine mashed bananas, melted butter or oil, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well blended for a creamy base.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents.
  4. Fold Ingredients Together: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep muffins tender.
  5. Add Strawberries and Fill Muffin Cups: Carefully fold in chopped strawberries, then spoon the batter into a greased or lined mini muffin pan, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Bake your Strawberry Banana Mini Muffins at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and moisture.
  • Don’t overmix the batter; fold gently to avoid dense muffins.
  • Use fresh strawberries only to maintain texture and avoid excess moisture.
  • Check oven temperature to ensure even baking without burning.
  • Let muffins cool before removing from the pan to keep their shape intact.
