These healthy strawberry banana muffins are light, fluffy and filled with fresh strawberry flavour! Made paleo, grain free, and refined sugar free, they’re perfect for breakfast or any time of day!
These truly are the best strawberry banana muffins ever! They're ultra moist and fluffy, and the combination of banana and strawberry is a dream come true. The tart sweetness of strawberries compliments the creaminess of bananas seamlessly! Plus, with strawberry season just around the corner, I thought it was the perfect time to bring out a new strawberry infused recipe! Trust me, this is THE strawberry muffin recipe that you'll want to keep around year after year!
Ingredients in Healthy Strawberry Banana Muffins:
Ripe Bananas - be sure to use those extra spotty bananas for this recipe!
Eggs - the eggs in this recipe are important to complement the coconut flour and add moisture to our muffins! They also add a protein and nutritional boost. I have not tested flax eggs in this recipe but they should turn out similarly.
Almond Butter - creamy almond butter works best for this recipe! If you don't have almond butter, you can substitute any creamy nut butter. Peanut butter or cashew butter would work great!
Maple Syrup - these muffins are naturally sweetened with pure maple syrup. You can substitute honey or date syrup at a 1:1 ratio
Vanilla Extract - I love adding vanilla extract to my baked goods! It adds a subtle sweetness and provides those delicious vanilla bean tones that we all know and love!
Coconut Flour - the coconut flour keeps these muffins light and fluffy! It's also highly absorbent, which is perfect for the bananas, eggs and maple syrup. Do not try to substitute for another flour!
Baking Powder - makes these muffins rise nicely and adds to the fluffiness!
Baking Soda - the baking soda helps these muffins to rise!
Sea Salt - adding just a pinch of salt to these muffins brings out all of the delicious flavours in our ingredients!
Fresh Strawberries - I used fresh California Strawberries for this recipe! Fresh strawberries work best for these muffins. They will also keep their shape better than frozen strawberries and result in the nicest looking muffins!

Such delightful little muffins!! I made these over the summer with local strawberries and they were so good. The almond butter keeps them so moist!

Can regular flour or almond flour be used in place of coconut flour?
Arisha
Great question! Unfortunately the coconut flour cannot be replaced in this recipe.
