Ingredients

Scale

Fruits

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

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt
  • ⅓ cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients: Start by mashing the ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth and set aside. Wash and dice fresh strawberries, then gently pat them dry to avoid excess moisture.
  2. Mix the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, Greek yogurt, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until the mixture becomes creamy and well combined.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In another bowl, sift together whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt to ensure even distribution of the leavening agents.
  4. Bring wet and dry ingredients together: Pour the wet ingredients into the mashed banana bowl, then slowly add the dry mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to prevent dense muffins; mix until no flour streaks remain.
  5. Fold in strawberries: Carefully fold in diced strawberries to evenly incorporate them without breaking them down, preserving their juicy texture within the batter.
  6. Portion and bake: Spoon the batter into a muffin pan lined with paper liners or lightly greased. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and enjoy: Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. This helps them set perfectly and keeps them moist inside.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for maximum natural sweetness and moisture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins tender and avoid tough gluten development.
  • Fold in strawberries last to prevent them from breaking down and turning the batter uniformly pink.
  • Use eggs and yogurt at room temperature for a smoother batter consistency.
  • Ensure your oven is preheated and at the correct temperature to guarantee proper rise and moisture retention.
