Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

  

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
• 2 ripe bananas mashed
• 1/2 cup fresh strawberries chopped
• 1 large egg

Equipment

• Mixing Bowls
• Muffin tin
• Whisk
• Rubber spatula
• Oven

Method

 

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with butter.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until combined. Visually check that ingredients are evenly distributed with no visible lumps.
3. In a separate small bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until smooth, then add the melted butter and egg. Whisk until the mixture is uniform and slightly thickened.
   1 cup all-purpose flour
4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, folding gently with a rubber spatula just until combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed without breaking apart the fruit.
   1 cup all-purpose flour
5. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Sprinkle a light layer of sugar on top of each muffin for a crunchy crust.
   1 cup all-purpose flour
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The tops should be slightly crisp and fragrant.

Notes

Use ripe bananas for sweeter flavor and maximum moisture. For a more intense strawberry flavor, reserve a few strawberry pieces to press into the top before baking.
