This is the recipe for the muffins I made on fourth of July. I thought they were delicious and easy to make. What's better than a great, made from scratch sunny morning muffin? One of the best things about this recipe is that it leaves a lot of room to add fruits/grains of your choice. Here goes..
Ingredients:
- 1 cup strawberries, chopped
- 1 cup sugar, plus 2 tablespoons
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- Pinch ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 1 lemon, zested
- 1/2 pint blueberries
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a small bowl, mix together strawberries and 2 tablespoons sugar. Let sit 15 minutes until strawberries give off juices.
- In a small bowl, mix together flour, cinnamon, baking soda, nutmeg and salt.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed banana, eggs, oil, 1 cup sugar, strawberries, and lemon zest.
- Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until combined. Do not over mix. Fold in blueberries and walnuts.
- Scoop batter evenly into muffin cups. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center of muffin comes out with a few crumbs but not wet, about 30 minutes. Cool on a rack to room temperature.
When I made these, I left the blueberries out of one batch and added oats instead. Delicious!
