I used the supermarket recipe as inspiration and came up with Strawberry Banana Muffins. They are good, and pretty good for you – whole wheat flour, no added fats and packed with fresh fruits!

Strawberry Banana Muffins [makes 12 muffins]

• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/3 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup mashed bananas (about 2 large)
• 2 eggs
• 1/3 cup applesauce
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup chopped strawberries

Preheat over to 375 degrees and line a pan with muffin cups (I used leftover cars cups. Munchkin loved it!) In a large bowl combine flours, sugar, baking powder and baking soda. In a separate bowl, mix together bananas, eggs, applesauce, honey and vanilla. Add to the dry ingredients and mix until combined. Fold in the strawberry chunks. Spoon the batter into the muffin cups until 2/3 full. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Enjoy!

I love how the fresh berries gave the muffins a marbled look on top…it makes them that much more mouthwatering, if you ask me!
