Strawberry Banana Muffins

Strawberries are in season! Back home we always go a little crazy strawberries when we go picking with grandma. But since there is no place to pick strawberries here, we buy them from market or the fresh produce woman. Either way we almost always have strawberries in the house. So I tried out a Strawberry Frozen Yogurt recipe the other day and today I tried out some strawberry muffin recipe. yummy yummy. And I got a compliment on these muffins and very very rarely do I ever get a compliment on any of my baking/cooking. So you know they must be real good. 


Ingredients
  • 1 and 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 medium banana, divided (mash 1/2 and slice the other half into very thin slices)
  • 1/4 cup apple sauce
  • 1 egg white, beaten 
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  •  1 cup diced strawberries

Instructions: Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Spray muffin tray with cooking spray. Set aside. In a large bowl, stir to combine the flour, sugars, baking soda, & cinnamon. Slice the banana in half and mash 1st half with a fork and cut 2nd half into thin slices (set these aside). Add the mashed banana to the dry ingredients and stir. Add the applesauce, beaten egg white, vanilla and stir until just combined. Do NOT overmix. Gently fold in the strawberries and banana slices. Pour batter into muffin tray, filling about 2/3 of the way up. Bake for 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Muffins stay fresh and soft up to 7 days in an airtight container. Muffins freeze well.
