Fresh Strawberry Muffins (Recipe)

Ingredients

  2 eggs

  1/2 cup plain yogurt

  1/4 cup applesauce

  1/2 cup packed brown sugar

  1 tablespoon coconut flakes (optional)

  1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  2 cups whole wheat flour

  2 teaspoons baking powder

  1/2 tablespoon ground cinnamon

  1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

  1/4 teaspoon salt

  3 bananas, mashed

  1 cup sliced strawberries, mashed

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line or lightly spray 12 large muffin cups with cooking spray.

In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, yogurt, applesauce, brown sugar, coconut, and vanilla.

In a medium mixing bowl, sift or mix together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the yogurt mixture. Using as few strokes as possible, mix until everything is moistened (lumps are okay). Fold in the mashed bananas and strawberries. Spoon the strawberry muffin batter into prepared muffin cups until completely full.

Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Allow to cool before removing from the muffin tins. Serve warm.
