Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium-sized ripe bananas
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup 0-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon milk of choice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.81 cups sugar (3/4 cup + 1 tablespoon) or 1:1 sugar substitute
  • 2 cups flour (reserve 1 tablespoon for the strawberries)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cups strawberries (reserve 1/4 cup for topping)

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Strawberries

    Wash and dry the fresh strawberries thoroughly. It is important that they are completely dry to avoid excess moisture in the batter. Chop the strawberries into small, even pieces and set them aside.

  2. Mash the Bananas
    Peel the bananas and place them in a large mixing bowl. Using a fork, mash them thoroughly until smooth and there are no large lumps remaining.

  3. Mix the Wet Ingredients
    Add the eggs, Greek yogurt, milk, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk the mixture until everything is fully combined and smooth.

  4. Add the Sugar
    Stir the sugar into the wet ingredients and mix until incorporated.

  5. Combine the Dry Ingredients
    Set aside 1 tablespoon of flour for the strawberries. In a separate bowl, mix the remaining flour with the baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  6. Make the Batter
    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring a little at a time until fully combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter. Mix only until the ingredients are just incorporated.

  7. Prepare the Strawberries for the Batter
    Place the chopped strawberries in a small bowl and toss them with the reserved tablespoon of flour. This step helps absorb excess moisture and prevents the strawberries from sinking to the bottom of the muffins.
    Reserve 1/4 cup of strawberries for topping. Gently fold the remaining strawberries into the batter.

  8. Fill the Muffin Pan

    Line a muffin pan with muffin liners or lightly grease a silicone non-stick muffin pan with oil to prevent sticking. Divide the batter evenly between the muffin cups.

  9. Add the Strawberry Topping

    Evenly distribute the remaining 1/4 cup of strawberries on top of the muffin batter.

  10. Bake the Muffins

    Bake the muffins in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 23–25 minutes. In most ovens, they will be perfectly baked at around 24 minutes.
    Once baked, allow the muffins to cool for several minutes before removing them from the pan.
