Strawberry Banana Nut Muffins

These lovely strawberry banana nut muffins were created, in part, thanks to overripe bananas, a sale on a large container of strawberries and my loathing of wasting food. You can probably thank my mom for that last one! This recipe is also dairy-free and egg-free (and vegan), but my taste testers who have no issues with dairy or eggs didn’t know the difference and scarfed them down with only one request: can we have another?

Made with ripe mashed bananas, sliced strawberries, apple sauce and pecans, these strawberry banana nut muffins are perfect for breakfast, dessert or an afternoon snack that’s on the healthier side of life.

I also used maple syrup instead of sugar, except for the sugar sprinkles on top. They add a little sweet crunch … and make them prettier, of course. I use the white ones from India Tree – they’re vegan and contain no food dyes.

The recipe makes 12 in a regular muffin pan. I often freeze half of them for when my I have visitors — they freeze and thaw nicely!

Pin it/save it … and make them! Please let me know if you do and/or tag me in a post. That always makes my day!!!
