These healthy strawberry banana yogurt muffins are made with no added sugar and are bursting with fresh strawberries! Lightly sweetened with only fruit, they're a healthy breakfast or snack perfect for babies and toddlers. 

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/2 cup mashed very ripe banana (1 medium)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp melted butter or coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 3/4 cup white whole wheat flour (or all purpose)
  • 1/2 tsp aluminum free baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • pinch salt (optional)
  • 1/2 cup chopped strawberries

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 350°F. Line a mini muffin pan with paper liners, or use a silicone muffin pan. Lightly spray with oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Mash the banana well until there are no lumps. 
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the banana, egg, melted butter, yogurt, and vanilla. 
  4. Stir in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt (if using), mixing until the streaks of flour just disappear.
  5. Fold in the chopped strawberries. 
  6. Scoop the batter by 1 tablespoon into the prepared muffin pan. 
  7. Bake for 11-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean.
  8. Let muffins cool in the pan for at least 5-10 minutes before removing them.

Equipment

Notes

  • Make sure to measure the banana after mashing since bananas can vary in size quite a lot. You want to use the correct amount by volume in order for the texture to be right.
  • Make sure to chop the strawberries very small - no more than 1/4 inch - and measure the volume after chopping.
  • Even when using muffin liners or a silicone muffin tin, I like to use a spray of oil before adding the batter to prevent sticking with this muffin recipe.
  • Try not to over-mix the batter once you add the flour, or your muffins will be dense.
  • If you don't have yogurt you can use sour cream instead.
  • Feel free to switch out the strawberries for other berries, such as blueberries or blackberries.
  • These muffins are not very sweet since they have no added sugar and are meant for babies. If you're making these for older children or adults, you may want additional sweetener. You can either swap out the plain yogurt for vanilla or strawberry flavored Greek yogurt, or you can add 2-3 tbsp of pure maple syrup or cane sugar to the batter with the wet ingredients.
