These delicious strawberry banana yogurt muffins are sweet, buttery and so quick and easy to make, they will brighten up your day in a flash.
Well, apparently, we're not the only ones with the the glass-half-full / act-as-if / fake-it-till-you-make-it attitude...
In case you didn't know it, today is National Strawberry Day. That's right. Even though it is still February, which is nowhere near strawberry season. I guess someone out there realized that by now,we would be desperate for a silver lining.
And what better way to remind us that the warm weather is coming than fresh, colorful, juicy strawberries? Granted this time of year they are absolutely tasteless for the most part... but hey, they're still beautiful and absolutely perfect for baking ( See? There's the bright side again!)
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 all together and turned them into strawberry banana muffins.
Hope you enjoy them a much as we did!
Enjoy!

These look delish 🙂 Can I ask you to please clarify how many grams of yoghurt you used? I'm in Australia and not sure of the sizing you listed.
Many thanks, Joanne 🙂
