Strawberry and Banana Muffins

Adapted from Pam's For The Love of Cooking.



Ingredients:

Dry Ingredients:
2 1/4 cup of flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, diced

Wet Ingredients:
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 stick of butter, melted
2 large ripe bananas
1 tsp vanilla

Method:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Coat a muffin pan with cooking spray.
• In a large bowl combine all dry ingredients.
• After mixing, gently fold in the strawberries, making sure to coat them with flour - this helps prevent the berries from sinking while baking.
• In another large bowl, combine the wet ingredients (use a potato masher to break up the banana) until mixed thoroughly.
• Slowly combine the wet mixture into the dry mixture, stir until just combined - do not over mix the batter or you will have tough muffins.
• Fill the muffin tray with the batter, place in the oven and bake for 22-25 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
• Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
• This recipe makes 12 muffins.
