Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (or maple syrup)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 small ripe bananas (mashed)
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Add-ins

  • 5 small strawberries (finely chopped)
  • ¼ cup chopped raisins (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly grease a muffin pan or line it with paper liners to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of muffins.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar (or maple syrup) until the mixture becomes pale and fluffy, ensuring a light texture in the muffins.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Mix in the egg, mashed bananas, and vanilla extract. Beat for about 1 minute until all ingredients are well combined and smooth.
  4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add these dry ingredients to the wet mixture, beating just until combined to avoid over-mixing which can make muffins tough.
  5. Fold in Fruits: Gently fold in the finely chopped strawberries and optional raisins to evenly distribute them without breaking down the fruit too much.
  6. Fill Muffin Cups and Bake: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating they are fully cooked.
  7. Cool Muffins: Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes to set, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing, which helps maintain their texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute maple syrup for granulated sugar to make the muffins naturally sweeter and more moist.
  • Ripe bananas with brown spots yield the best flavor and sweetness.
  • Chopping strawberries finely helps distribute their flavor evenly throughout the muffin.
  • Optional raisins can be omitted or replaced with nuts for added texture.
  • Ensure not to overmix the batter to keep the muffins tender.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
