Whole Wheat Banana Strawberry Muffins


These were great!  I never use wheat flour and I was worried that they would be dry and unsweet, but we are trying to eat less refined sugar and bleached flour.  They were so moist and perfect for breakfast or in place of cake for dessert.  

You need:
2 eggs
1/2 cup of apple (puree or finely chopped)
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
1 tsp of vanilla extract
3 bananas (mashed)
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup strawberries (frozen and chopped)

Preheat the oven to 375 degress.  Line 24 regular or 12 large muffin cups.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, apple, oil, brown sugar, vanilla, and bananas.  Combine the flour and baking soda.  Stir into the banana mixture until moistened.  Stir in the strawberries until evenly distributed.  
Spoon batter into muffin cups until completely filled.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until the tops of the muffins spring back when pressed lightly.  Cool before removing from the muffin tin.

  1. I might have to make these for Mackenzie's breakfast or for a snack. We are trying to come up with new food items and these look good and healthy!
