This week I am sharing another family favorite, a wonderful spring and summer recipe…Strawberry Lemon Banana Muffins. They can be made with or without eggs!
Ingredients
Line a muffin tin with paper liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray. Next, melt butter and set it aside until it cools to room temperature. In a medium size bowl, mix yogurt, mashed bananas, the vanilla and lemon extract. Once the butter is cool, add it to the the banana mixture. In a separate large bowl, mix all the dry ingredients {flour, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt}. After they are mixed well, add the strawberries and lemon zest. Fold the strawberries and lemon zest in the dry ingredients, making sure the strawberry pieces are coated well. Next, add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just blended. Do not over mix the batter.

Tip
If you prefer Strawberry Banana Muffins, skip the lemon zest and Lemon extract – add a 1/2 teaspoon more of pure vanilla extract, for 1 teaspoon total.
