Ingredients

Scale

Fresh Ingredients for the Base  

  • 3 overripe bananas (mashed until smooth)  
  • 1 cup diced fresh strawberries  
  • 2 large eggs  
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt (you can use Greek for extra protein)  
  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup  
  • 1/4 cup olive oil or melted coconut oil  
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract  

Dry Ingredients  

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour  
  • 1 tsp baking powder  
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda  
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional, but excellent for warmth and depth)

Instructions

Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup.  

Mash bananas until smooth and dice strawberries into small pieces.  

Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.  

In a large bowl, whisk mashed bananas, yogurt, honey or maple syrup, eggs, oil, and vanilla until smooth.  

Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, stirring gently just until no flour streaks remain.  

Fold in diced strawberries carefully.  

Fill muffin cups about ¾ full.  

Let the filled tin sit at room temperature for 10 minutes for higher muffin tops (optional).  

Bake for 20–23 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.  

Cool in the pan for 3–5 minutes.

Transfer muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.

 

Notes

Use overripe bananas for maximum flavor and moisture. Don’t overmix the batter, or muffins will be dense. Substitute other berries, gluten-free flour, or plant-based yogurt as needed. Muffins freeze well for up to 3 months. Let batter rest before baking for bakery-style tops.
