Description

No Sugar Strawberry Banana Muffins are a healthy, delicious option perfect for toddlers. Made with ripe bananas and fresh strawberries, these muffins have no added sugar, making them a great choice for a wholesome snack or breakfast. They are moist, nutritious, and a fun way to sneak more fruits into your child’s diet.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
  • 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour (or a gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free option)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil or coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
  2. Prepare the Wet Ingredients: Mash the bananas with a fork until smooth. Add eggs, honey (or maple syrup), oil, and vanilla. Mix until combined.
  3. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually mix into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  4. Fold in the Strawberries: Add the chopped strawberries and gently fold them into the batter.
  5. Scoop the Batter: Spoon the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ of the way full.
  6. Bake: Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Use Ripe Bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter the muffins will be.
  • Don’t Overmix: Stir the ingredients gently to avoid dense muffins.
  • Drain Excess Moisture from Strawberries: Pat the strawberries dry before adding them to the batter to avoid too much moisture.
  • Customize with Add-ins: Try adding oats, nuts, or coconut flakes for extra texture.
