Banana Strawberry Muffins

Three different fruits in one muffin sounds too good to be true, right? Not when it comes to these delicious banana and strawberry muffins. The elusive third fruit comes in the form of unsweetened apple sauce which lends a moreish moistness to the muffins. These work perfectly as a lunchbox snack for little ones who don’t enjoy eating fruit in its raw form. To complete the ‘Healthier’ Lunchbox recipe try the Avocado Mac n’ Cheese and Houmous-stuffed Piccarella Peppers.

Ingredients

  • 3 bananas, the more ripe the better
  • 25g honey
  • 80g apple sauce
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 120g plain flour
  • 100g wholemeal flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 120g strawberries, roughly chopped into small pieces

Method

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 190°C/170°C fan/gas mark 5. Place 12 paper muffin cases in a 12-hole muffin tin and set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mash the bananas well. Add the honey, apple sauce, eggs and vanilla extract and mix well.

Step 3

In another smaller bowl, combine the flours, baking soda, cinnamon and salt and mix well. Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and stir to combine thoroughly. Add in the chopped strawberries and stir well.

Step 4

Divide the mixture evenly between the 12 paper muffin cases and bake in the oven for 15-20 mins until risen and golden. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before packing them into the lunchboxes.
