STRAWBERRY BANANA MUFFINS



I added a strawberry butter cream icing and some chocolate decorations on top.... took them over the top!

 I'm always on the hunt for a great recipe.  This is the perfect one to use up those leftover fresh Strawberries and Bananas you have kicking around.

1 Cup Fresh Strawberries, sliced
2 Tbsp Sugar, to toss with berries
2/3 Cup Mashed Bananas (about 2)
1/2 Cup Sugar
1/2 Cup 2% Milk
2 Lg. Egg Whites
2 Tbsp. Vegetable Oil
2 tsp. Vanilla
2 Cups All Purpose Flour
2 tsp. Baking Powder
1/2 tsp. Cinnamon
1/4 tsp. Salt.

Preheat oven to 350 F.  Grease or butter muffin tins.

Toss strawberries with the sugar and set aside.

In a large bowl stir together banana, sugar, milk, egg whites, oil and vanilla.  In a separate bowl mix flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.  Add to wet ingredients and mix until just blended.  Fold in strawberries.  Drop batter into muffin tins until 3/4 full.

Bake for 20-25 mins or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.  Cool 15 mins in tins before turning out.

Serve and enjoy.
