Scale
Muffin Batter:
- 1/2 cup mashed very ripe banana (1 medium)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp melted butter or coconut oil
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 3/4 cup white whole wheat flour (or all-purpose)
- 1/2 tsp aluminum-free baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- pinch salt (optional)
- 1/2 cup chopped strawberries
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350°F. Line a mini muffin pan with paper liners or use a silicone muffin pan. Lightly spray with oil to prevent sticking.
- Mash the banana well until there are no lumps.
- In a large bowl, whisk the banana, egg, melted butter, yogurt, and vanilla.
- Stir in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt (if using), mixing until the streaks of flour just disappear.
- Fold in the chopped strawberries.
- Scoop the batter by 1 tablespoon into the prepared muffin pan.
- Bake for 11-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean.
- Let muffins cool in the pan for at least 5-10 minutes before removing them.
Notes
- Make sure to measure the banana after mashing since bananas can vary in size quite a lot.
- Make sure to chop the strawberries very small – no more than 1/4 inch – and measure the volume after chopping.
- Even when using muffin liners or a silicone muffin tin, use a spray of oil before adding the batter to prevent sticking.
- Try not to over-mix the batter once you add the flour, or your muffins will be dense.
- If you don’t have yogurt, you can use sour cream instead.
- Feel free to switch out the strawberries for other berries, such as blueberries or blackberries.
- These muffins are not very sweet since they have no added sugar and are meant for babies. Add sweetener if desired.
