banana strawberry muffins

Sweet, tender muffins to make when you have too many bananas that won’t be eaten. 

Banana Strawberry Muffins Recipe

I love a good blender cake. Oftentimes, I’ll use date caramel or maple syrup to sweeten them, but this time decided to go ham and just use sugar. I had a few freeze-dried strawberries left in the bag (I normally pack them in my little one’s lunch), so I threw them in as well, but you can leave them out if you don’t have. They did add a few nice flecks of color!

Ingredients for Banana Strawberry Muffins

  • 3 ripe bananas, peeled

  • 2 tablespoons freeze-dried strawberries

  • 4 eggs

  • 1 cup olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon vanilla

  • ½ teaspoon salt, plus more for sprinkling

  • 1½ cups sugar, plus more for sprinkling

  • 1½ teaspoons baking soda

  • Juice of ½ lemon

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

How to Make Banana Strawberry Muffins

  1. Add the bananas, strawberries, eggs, oil, vanilla, salt, and sugar to a blender and pulse until smooth. 

  2. Stir in the baking soda, lemon juice, and flour, and blend again, just until the flour is incorporated.

  3. Line two muffin pans with liners and portion out the batter so each tin in the first pan is ¾ full.

  4. Once the first pan is full, mix ¼ cup chocolate chips into the remaining batter.

  5. Portion it into the muffin pan and top with extra chocolate chips.

  6. Sprinkle the tops with sugar, then add a tiny sprinkle of salt over everything.

  7. Bake for 30 minutes, until the muffins spring back when you push on them lightly.
