Healthy Strawberry Banana Yogurt Muffins are a delicious and nutritious treat made with whole wheat flour, Greek yogurt, and fresh fruit. These muffins are naturally sweetened with banana and strawberries, providing a wholesome option for breakfast, snacks, or light dessert.

Ingredients

1 ½ cups whole wheat flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

½ cup brown sugar (or coconut sugar)

1 large egg

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1 ripe banana, mashed

1 cup fresh strawberries, diced

¼ cup melted coconut oil (or vegetable oil)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line or grease a muffin tin to prepare for baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together well until blended.
  3. Blend Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, brown sugar, egg, mashed banana, and vanilla extract. Ensure it’s all combined smoothly.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to dense muffins.
  5. Fold in Strawberries: Carefully fold in the diced strawberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Add Oil: Drizzle in the melted coconut oil, mixing gently until everything is incorporated.
  7. Scoop Batter: Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, fill the prepared muffin tin cups about two-thirds full with batter.
  8. Bake: Place in your preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool Muffins: Remove from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For added crunch and healthy fats, try adding chopped walnuts or almonds to the batter.

Experiment with other fruits like blueberries, raspberries, or apples if strawberries aren’t available.

If you prefer a lower-sugar version, reduce the amount of brown sugar or use a natural sweetener like stevia or maple syrup.

For a gluten-free version, swap the whole wheat flour with a gluten-free flour blend.

To make these muffins vegan, replace the egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 3 tablespoons water) and use plant-based yogurt and oil.
