Strawberry Banana Muffins with Oat Streusel Topping
Whole grain muffins filled with juicy strawberries and covered with a sweet oat streusel topping! These muffins are a MUST make!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups flour (all-purpose, whole wheat, whole grain spelt will all work. I used whole wheat pastry flour.)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs at room temperature
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or other oil
- 3 small extra ripe bananas mashed
- 1/2-1 cup diced strawberries (I used 1 full cup of diced strawberries.)
For the oat streusel topping:
- 1 cup oats
- 1 tablespoon flour (any type works)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar or coconut sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line muffin pans with paper liners or coat with cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, honey, coconut oil and mashed bananas. Pour the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until flour disappears. Do not over stir. Gently fold in the diced strawberries.
- To make the oat streusel topping, combine oats, flour, sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Mix in honey. It may help to use your fingers to stir and mix until combined.
- Fill 12 muffin cups evenly and close to full. Sprinkle each muffin with oat streusel topping. Slightly press streusel into muffin. Bake for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let cool for 5 minutes. Enjoy!
Notes
*It's helpful to use eggs that are at room temperature, so coconut oil doesn't harden. If you forget like me, just add coconut oil to liquid ingredients last and then quickly stir liquid ingredients into dry ingredients.
*Feel free to substitute the coconut oil with another type of oil or even melted butter.
