Friday, June 17, 2011Strawberry Banana Muffins
I went to Sweet Tomatoes, a restaurant similar to Fresh Choice, last week. They had very good strawberry muffins. I wanted to make my own. But then, I thought since my friends and I like banana nut muffins, why not try strawberry banana muffins?
So here is the result. While banana nut muffins are best straight out of the oven, it's not quite so with strawberries. I think the strawberries taste a bit sour fresh from the oven. Once it cools, it tastes sweeter. *shrug* Maybe it's just me.
Ingredients:
2 large ripe bananas
1 cup of cut fresh strawberries
1/3 cup olive oil/melted butter
1-1/2 cups flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
a pinch of salt
1. Mash the bananas and mix in the oil or butter.
2. Add in the strawberries.
3. Mix in the sugar, egg, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt.
4. Mix in the flour.
5. Put batter into muffin tins.
6. Bake in oven for 20 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
Makes 12 regular muffins.
