Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 ounce unsalted butter (113 g, 1/2 cup, softened to room temperature)
  • 7 ounces granulated sugar (200 g, 1 cup)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk (make your own by adding 4 drops of lemon juice to 1/2 cup milk.)
  • 1 cup mashed ripe banana
  • 14 ounce all purpose flour (400 g, 2 and 1/2 cups)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 7 ounce chopped strawberries (200 g, 1 and 1/2 cups)

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees C (180 degrees C).
  • Line a muffin tray with muffin liners or spray it with baking spray.
  • Note – I used a large muffin tray which gave me 8 large muffins. You can use any size muffin tray. Just keep in mind that the baking time will vary depending on the size of the tray.
  • Add butter and sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment.
  • Note – I used my stand mixer to whisk the butter and sugar but you can use a handheld mixer too.
  • Whisk the butter and sugar until light and fluffy (Approx 4-5 mins on medium speed). The color of the butter should become pale after whisking.
  • Scrape the sides of the bowl a few times while whisking.
  • Add eggs, one at a time, and mix well after each addition.
  • Add vanilla extract, and buttermilk and mix well.
  • Now add bananas and mix well.
  • Add all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the bowl and mix just until combined.
  • Note – Do not overmix after adding the flour otherwise, the muffins will come out dense.
  • Fold in the strawberries.
  • Use a large spoon (or an ice cream scoop) to transfer the batter to the muffin tray. Fill the cavity almost to the top.
  • Keep the muffin tray in the middle rack of the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffins comes out clean.
  • Note – If using a smaller tray, check them after 15 minutes of baking.
  • Remove the tray from the oven and let the muffins rest in the tray for 5 minutes.
  • Remove them from the tray and cool them on a cooling rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
