I finally purchased my first lot of fresh Strawberries a day back. I was really happy with a lot of red juicy mini wonders and. A box was finished within almost no time by me and Pasta! With a happy mind (and tummy) I then opened my fridge to store rest of the strawberries and found a lot of overripe bananas (as always)! Given both me and my little one were suffering from cold and cough last week we both skipped our regular dose of Bananas. I somehow forgot about the bunch that I have in the fridge! First thing came to my mind after seeing the bunch of bananas was nothing but a typical Banana Bread! This is what I make every time I have overripe bananas available in my stock!
I am baking several goodies for last few days and obviously, our taste bud would not allow simple banana bread in this baking season. I was aware that I am not available with Nutella as well (to make a Nutella Swirled Banana Bread). To be very frank, I was not at all in a mood to discard bananas. I finally decided to use bananas along with strawberries to make baked goodies. I Ended on making some really tasty Whole Wheat Strawberry Banana Muffins.
Strawberries go really well with Banana. My attempt at making Muffins using these two turned out awesome. Given, I bake different goodies entire December, I try to make a low-calorie version of baked goodies and hence made super tasty Whole Wheat Strawberry Banana Muffins with no added Butter. However, I replaced butter with refined oil. Also with the goodness of Whole Wheat Flour and a combo of two fruits. My muffins turned into a dose of a healthy treat for my little one.
I packed a Whole Wheat Strawberry Muffin in Pasta’s Snack box last morning and found she finished it completely. I had this with my morning cup of coffee and believe me it was a pleasure to have the super tasty, super soft muffin with a dose of Strawberry and Banana. Well, I have used my favorite small-sized “Kanthali Kala”, a local variety of small bananas but sharing the recipe using a normal banana for the ease of the readers.
