Strawberry season is in full swing so I am sharing my recipe for Strawberry Banana muffins. The original recipe was for a very basic blueberry muffin. I found it in a Nova Scotia cookbook that I bought many years ago while traveling through the area. I have used this recipe hundreds of times over the years and added in countless ingredients to change it up. It is a good solid recipe that is easy to put together and always bakes very consistently.
I used fresh strawberries in this recipe but if you want to kick it up a notch you could use Roasted Strawberries instead. The roasting intensifies the flavor of the berries.

In a medium bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In a small bowl, beat the egg. Add the milk, and vegetable oil. Mix well.
Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture and combine well.
Stir in the strawberries and banana puree. Combine well.

Reserve a few of the diced strawberries and drop them onto the tops of the muffins.
