Instructions – Strawberry Banana Bread Muffins Recipe

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Mash bananas with a fork.
  • Wash strawberries & remove any leaves. Cut the strawberries into small chunks.
  • Soften butter in a microwave.
  • Stir eggs, bananas and butter together.

  • Add the strawberries to the batter. Stir in strawberries & make sure the strawberries are evenly spread throughout the batter. Don’t over mix as the strawberries will be easy to break.

  • Add the batter to the muffin baking cups until each one is about 50-75% full with batter.
  • Optional (for decorative purposes) – Place some thin strawberry slices on top of the batter in each muffin cup before placing into the oven.

  • Bake muffins for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Remove the muffin trays from the oven. Use oven mitts when removing the muffin trays.
  • Allow the muffins to cool for 5 minutes within the muffin trays.
  • Remove the muffins and place them on a cooling rack in order to completely cool.

Tips – Easy Strawberry Banana Muffins

  • The tips below are designed to help muffin “novices” and/or people with limited baking experience.
  • Try to use fresh & organic strawberries if you can. Organic fruit & vegetables are usually much less exposed to potentially harmful pesticides.
  • Optional – Cut some strawberries into slices and add a thin slice to the top of the batter in each muffin cup before placing the muffin tray in the oven. This will help to make your strawberry banana muffins stand out “visually” after they have been baked.
  • Use RIPE bananas for improved taste. Ripe bananas are soft and usually yellow with small black spots. Hard yellow/green(ish) bananas are too starchy and have less banana flavor.
  • Make sure to use 2 large bananas for this recipe (unlike our classic banana bread muffin recipe which uses 3 large bananas). The strawberries add extra moisture to this muffin recipe and thus you do not need 3 large bananas. In addition, the strawberry chunks add more moisture “variability” to this muffin recipe because the strawberry juice is not trapped in a nice round berry “shell” (i.e. blueberries).
  • In case, you like to use cups versus banana “sizes”… 2 large-sized bananas equal roughly 1 to 1 1/8 cups of mashed bananas (not sliced bananas). Of course, banana sizes can vary greatly… and my version of medium and large-sized bananas may differ from yours! If you need to convert other ingredient measurements (i.e. cups to tablespoons), you should visit our baking volume calculator & conversion table.
  • There are a variety of ways to pour the batter into the muffin tray. For example, you can scoop with a spoon (while using another spoon to scrape off the batter into the muffin tray), use a small cup and spoon, use an ice cream scoop with a trigger release, use a homemade “pastry bag” to squeeze the batter into the muffin liners, etc.
  • Use paper baking cups (liners) if you want to easily extract the strawberry banana muffins from the muffin tray. Paper baking cups also result in less mess on your fingers when removing the muffins.
  • For larger muffins, you can buy trays designed for “jumbo” muffins (versus trays for standard sized muffins). This recipe should generate roughly 8-12 jumbo strawberry banana bread muffins.
  • If you have a problem with a muffin recipe, please make sure that you are following the recipe exactly (i.e. using the correct oven temperature), using the correct amounts of ingredients (i.e. don’t eyeball the measurements versus using a measuring cup or accidentally add a tablespoon when a teaspoon is called for), using the correct ingredients (i.e. baking soda/powder versus yeast or all purpose flour versus bread flour), etc. Please don’t “wing” things with recipes.
  • In addition, you should always try to use relatively fresh baking soda & powder for the best results. For example, using baking soda from an open container (that has been deodorizing your refrigerator for months) may lead to subpar results. Old & hard baking soda/powder may lead to rising problems and/or leave small bitter clumps in your strawberry banana muffins.

I want to thank EVERYONE who leaves a comment in our recipe comment sections!! Beginners learn a lot from your fantastic baking tips. Below are some recent visitor comments. For even more great visitor tips & recipe variations, please visit Bread Dad’s Noteworthy Visitor Comments page.

  • Helen added some amazing variation ideas to our Flaxseed Bread recipe – “Great recipe and a reminder to keep flax seed in the freezer as it tends to go rancid. I usually sub oil for butter, worked well, used part whole wheat, and used honey instead of sugar. Next time I’ll try adding cranberries and cinnamon instead of herbs as we loved the cranberry nut bread.“
  • Monica posted some delicious upgrade ideas to our No Egg Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe – “Your eggless cookies tasted great (and the dough was exceptional…to eat, of course!) I added mini chips and oatmeal. I added a bit more milk and baking soda. I baked them for 14 minutes. They would have been great with coconut, also. I just seem to have to re-create….lol I had no eggs, so bless you for this recipe!!!! Yummy, yum, yum!!!! Thank you!!!“
  • Linda added some fantastic enhancements to our Bread Machine 100% Whole Wheat Bread – “OMyGoodness! I have been baking bread for over 40 years and this is one of the best recipes I’ve come across. I never thought bread machine bread could be so soft and yummy! I used white whole wheat flour, coconut milk, coconut sugar, vegan butter, and added 2 tablespoons of raw sunflower seeds and 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds. I can’t thank you enough!“
  • Dorlene posted a great variation to our Golden Raisin Banana Bread – “I followed your no-butter banana bread recipe exactly (using grapeseed oil) with two additions after the batter has been completely mixed: 1) 100 grams of chopped pecans and 2) 200 grams golden raisins soaked overnight in warm water, drained, and chopped in the Cuisinart (they’re invisible in the baked loaf but I think they contribute to its moistness)”…  “Thank you for creating this website and providing so much useful information. I especially appreciate your including metric conversions for all of the ingredients, ensuring accuracy”.
  • Leanne posted an amazing variation to our 2 Banana Bread Recipe – “Phenomenal recipe for two(medium) bananas. Followed the suggestions and added the extra milk, walnuts and fresh blueberries. I reduced the sugar to nearly 2/3 and the resulting bread was delicious! Perfect crumb, moisture and taste”… “PS: added cinnamon and a little ginger powder as well. It’s just yummy“
  • Lisa made some awesome crotons out of our Bread Machine All Purpose Flour Bread (Country White Bread) – “I simply cut them up into cubes the day after making the bread, I melted a 50/50 combination of butter with an olive/avocado blend oil in a skillet and put the bread cubes in to coat. It takes several batches. Then put them on a cookie sheet, sprinkled with sea salt and baked them on a low oven around 250 for about 45 minutes. I just watch them closely to get them dried but not too brown. I have stuck with the recipe as written and I am completely serious…they are amazing!“
