Ingredients

Scale

Fruits

  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it. Mash the ripe bananas in a large bowl until smooth, then chop the strawberries into small pieces, leaving some chunks for texture.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: To the mashed bananas, whisk in vegetable oil, sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and milk. Stir until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined, creating a creamy, fragrant base.
  3. Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. This helps ensure even distribution and avoids lumps.
  4. Bring It All Together: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until combined to avoid overmixing. Carefully fold in the chopped strawberries, being mindful not to break them down too much.
  5. Fill and Bake: Divide the batter evenly into the mini muffin tin, filling each cavity about two-thirds full. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops are golden.
  6. Cool and Enjoy: Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This helps them set and retain their tender crumb.

Notes

  • Use overripe bananas for enhanced sweetness and flavor depth.
  • Avoid overmixing the batter to keep muffins tender and light.
  • If using frozen strawberries, thaw and drain excess liquid to prevent sogginess.
  • Bring eggs and milk to room temperature for a smoother batter and even baking.
  • Use liners or grease well to prevent sticking, especially due to the fruit content.
