Strawberry Banana Muffins
Strawberry Banana Muffins are light and fluffy whole grain muffins packed with fresh strawberry and banana flavor!
Breakfast is something I think about all the time. That may sound strange, but it is the most important meal of the day and it should never be skipped in my opinion.
I personally would never skip breakfast, and I always make sure to prep something healthy for those busy mornings.
One of my favorite things to make for breakfasts (and snacks) is healthy muffins. I’m a firm believer that muffins don’t need tons of oil, butter and sugar to taste good.
My blueberry lemon muffins, healthy banana muffins and these Strawberry Banana Muffins are living proof!
This recipe was adapted from my Banana Nut Bread recipe, which is my go-to banana bread. It’s got a light, fluffy texture and you’d never know it was whole grain!
I originally published this recipe back in 2013 and decided it was time to update the photos and modify the recipe.
The old recipe had more ingredients than necessary, and it’s all about keeping things simple when it comes to meal prep right?
The old recipe included a combination of Greek yogurt and skim milk, but when I was testing my banana bread recipe I realized that the texture was lighter and fluffier without the Greek yogurt.
I’ve also decided that using all whole wheat white flour is much easier than using a combination of whole wheat and all purpose flours.
These Strawberry Banana Muffins are now better than ever with a shorter ingredient list, which makes them even easier to make.
I truly believe that things do need to be simple to stay on top of meal prep.
Keeping things simple means always having a few staple ingredients in the pantry to make it really easy to whip up a batch of healthier muffins or quick breads at any given time.
These muffins take all of 10 minutes to pull together, and they’re freezer friendly (if you can keep them around that long).
We go through tons of bananas over here, but we still get at least 3-5 overripe ones during the week. I love freezing them for smoothies and muffins/breads.
You can use fresh or frozen strawberries for this recipe, but if you use frozen ones be sure to thaw them and blot dry with a paper towel before adding them to the batter.
These healthy strawberry banana muffins couldn’t be easier to make and they’re muffins that you’ll feel good about serving your family.
Simple never tasted so good!

Can the sugar be substituted with honey of maple syrup?
Normally you would use about 1/3 less honey or maple syrup for the sugar, but I’ve never tried it so I’m not sure what the results would be.
All of what you say is true Puja, and for these reasons you’ll never catch me skipping breakfast (or any meal for that matter)! Thanks so much and I hope your weekend is going well! 🙂
I love that these are lightened up and healthier! Breakfast is my absolute favourite meal of the day, and I often plan out what I’m going to have before I go to bed! I’ll definitely be planning these out for breakfast some time soon!
I’m lazy in the morning so I need a plan! haha Thanks Leanne!
Made these today and added chopped pecans. I didn’t have any whole wheat flour in the house so I subbed cornmeal. Delicious! Thank you!
I’m so glad to hear that you enjoyed these and that your substitutions worked Laura! Thanks so much for the feedback!
