Yup, it’s me again, here with another recipe for you. 😀 I think after the banana bread lockdown hype ended, I got a bit excited and just decided to make anything with bananas. This week I went out and bought some bananas because I had seen this recipe on Tasty. Yep, if you’re not following Tasty or don’t spend at least 3 hours a week just drooling over some of their recipes- you need to check your life.. Go check them out!
These muffins were the perfect grab-and-go morning meal on my way up to campus, or a little afternoon snack amid the chaos of work. I think these lasted about three days in my house because I just couldn’t stop!
Tip: If your bananas are not yet ripe, pop them on some wax paper on a baking tray (170’C), into the oven for 30 minutes until they have blackened. Mash them and put them in the fridge to cool before mixing it with other ingredients.

Spray n Cook the muffin tray (try to do this outside and do not inhale- I learnt this the hard way!!)
Portion the batter into the muffin tray and put the strawberries on top.
Bake for 20-25 minutes (do the poke test) and allow the muffins to cool on a cooling rack (or microwave stand).
Pop in the microwave for 30 seconds before you eat it, makes for a delicious warm muffin!
*If you don’t have any Greek Yoghurt, you can substitute with Buttermilk. If you don’t have store bought Buttermilk- you can mix 1/2 cup milk with 2 tsp lemon juice, stir and allow it to sit for about 10 minutes.
