Strawberry Banana Muffins
These Strawberry Banana Muffins are so moist and delicious. Perfect for breakfast on the go!
We love strawberries in our house. My oldest loves all berries, but strawberries are one of the few fruits I really like. We switched to buying all organic produce a few months ago and since then I’ve noticed that there is a big difference in shelf life between conventional vs organic fruits. When I see we have some fruit about to go bad I whip up a batch of these Strawberry Banana Muffins. These muffins are also a great alternative to making bread when you have bananas that need to be used quickly.  (Though this Strawberry Bread is another favorite!)
I love that this makes a smaller batch and although I haven’t tried it, I imagine these would freeze really well. You could use different fruits (like raspberry or blueberry) and even add in chocolate chips or nuts. I happened to have a lemon I needed to use up so I also added some lemon zest to the tops of these, but that is obviously optional.

I loved this recipe; I didn’t have any fresh lemons, but I did have some oranges and used the orange zest instead I loved them. thank you for this recipe.
The little dots of lemon zest are so pretty! I like the combination of strawberry and banana. I also like this as an alternative to banana bread (b/c I don’t much like banana bread!)
Thank you for stopping in and linking with See Ya in the Gumbo this week.

Just took these out of the oven. They are delightful. My hubby loves them. I made them exactly as directed except I substituted whole wheat pastry flour for the AP flour. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe.
