The secret to our strawberry banana muffins is adding yogurt to the batter, which makes these yogurt muffins extra moist and fluffy. The rest of the ingredients are simple, flour, oil, sugar.
And what better way to remind us that the warm weather is coming than fresh, colorful, juicy strawberries? You can make this yogurt muffin recipe even in the winter months when strawberries, for the most part, are not the tastiest (especially on the East Coast of the US) but they're still beautiful and absolutely perfect for baking
Ingredients for Strawberry Muffins
- Self Rising Flour: you can make your own by adding 1 ½ teaspoon of baking powder and ¼ teaspoon of salt to one cup of unbleached all-purpose flour
- Sugar: these muffins are not overly sweet, which we love
- Yogurt: use any vanilla yogurt of your choice, regular, vegan, or greek yogurt
- Milk: regular or plant-based. We used unsweetened almond milk
- Coconut Oil: you can use vegan butter, regular butter, or oil
- Strawberries and bananas
- Vanilla Extract for extra flavor
These delicious muffins are sweet, buttery and so quick and easy to make, they will brighten up your day in a flash. You can thank my 8 year old for that! He's actually the one who came up with the idea, while playing around in the kitchen on a Saturday night. Instead of going out, he asked if we could stay home and bake cupcakes. "If we use strawberries, bananas and yogurt they'll be healthy, just like a smoothie!", was his rationale, and I wasn't about to argue with him.
They ended up looking so pretty that we skipped the icing altogether and turned them into strawberry banana muffins.
How to make Strawberry Muffins
Once the batter is ready, line a muffin tin with muffin liners and place a slice of banana at the bottom of each liner.
Pour the batter and place ½ a strawberry on top.
