Strawberry Banana Muffins

June 23rd, 2011

Have you ever tried a new recipe just to admire the pretty finished product? I have! This is one of those recipes, but lucky for me these muffins taste as good as they look.

Strawberry Banana Muffins recipe

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup plain yogurt
2 large bananas, mashed
1/2 cup diced strawberries, plus 1 strawberry very thinly sliced

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line or spray a muffin tin. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the butter browns and begins to smell nutty. Pour into a bowl and set aside to cool slightly.

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, vanilla extract and yogurt. Whisk in the mashed bananas. Pour the butter in a very slow stream to temper the eggs and be sure they don’t curdle.

Pour the dry ingredients over the wet and incorporate with a spatula. Fold in the strawberries until just combined.

Using an ice cream scoop, portion the batter evenly into 12 muffin tins and place a sliced strawberry on top. Bake for 18-20 minutes.

Makes 12 muffins

    The strawberry slice on top looks like a little parasol. I never thought of putting a parasol on a muffin instead of a drink. Wonderful.

  3. They look amazing! I think I’ll try this recipe ;).

I love your comments more than I love chocolate (almost).
