VARIATIONS: Fresh berries or chopped bananas may be added. Use any granulated sugar - regular or substitute as long as it has a 1:1 sugar ratio (results may very slightly as well as sweetness levels). A neutral oil such as avocado or canola oil can be substituted for coconut oil; Vanilla extract may be substituted for banana extract.
FRESH BANANA: Use a total of ¾ cup of strawberries and mashed banana. Omit the banana and substitute vanilla extract if you use fresh banana.
TIPS: It's is important to let the batter sit for 5 to 10 minutes so that it can thicken. This recipe can easily be doubled and extra muffins frozen for later.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Eat them all by themselves, or slather on some coconut oil, butter, nut butter, honey, or a favorite jam.
