Strawberry Banocolate Muffins – simply delicious!

JUMP TO RECIPE SAVE RECIPE Saved!

Recently my daughter had a cake bake at her school and one of my friends had a minor meltdown when her Strawberry Muffins failed 3 times the night before the bake.  I thought I would google to see if there were any recipes for these in cyber land as she had just swapped the blueberries in her recipe for strawberries and I wondered if Strawberry Muffins even existed.  Sure enough they did and I meant to give Michelle the recipe but never got around to it!

With the gluts of strawberries that have been in the shops lately I found myself at the weekend wanting to use them up and remembered the recipe that I’d printed from Diana’s Desserts.com for Strawberry-Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins. I tweaked the recipe slightly and gave it a slightly snappier name – Strawberry Banocolate Muffins.

The result was delicious, light and airy with the strawberries and chocolate shining afore the subtle banana back notes with not a sunken strawberry in sight.  Three days later we are still eating them (still fab) as the quantity was more suited to a cake bake and not a family of four!

So having watched other people entering these challenges I thought I would join in the fun with the “Teatime Time Treats Challenge” July theme, Summer Fairs & Fêtes and Cake Stall Cakes & Bakes hosted by Lavender & Lovage this month and alternately with What Kate Baked.

So you start with bowl of all the dry ingredients and then mix together in another bowl the wet ingredients.

Add the wet to the dry ingredients, stirring to moisten and then add the fruit and chocolate.

Once mixed fill the 16 muffin cases 2/3 full and bake for 22 – 25 minutes, et voila.

These Strawberry Banocolate Muffins can happily be made the day before your bake sale and have surprisingly good keeping qualities. I know what I’m making to the next bake sale!

Surely they won’t miss just one!

Just packed with yumminess!

    Was looking for something different today, luckily I had all these ingredients to hand. They were to die for (my family said that lol). High praise indeed. Thanks for sharing the recipe 😀
