    Spring is here. FINALLY! The days are getting longer and warmer and markets are full of colorful fruits and veggies. It's a true joy to be outside and of course to enjoy all the wonderful natures gifts.

    Strawberries are one of my favorite Spring fruits. They arrived at local market just a few weeks ago and since then, they are my favorite daily snack. Honestly I can't say am I more hooked on Strawberry Smoothie Bowl or Strawberry Chia Pudding. But can you blame me?

    Strawberry Banana Muffins

    Strawberries are called a spring princess with a pretty good reason. Strawberries are low-calorie fruit full of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Did you know that a handful of strawberries satisfy all your daily needs for vitamin C? Impressive, right?! In addition to being loaded with vitamin C, strawberries also contain phenols, which together with antioxidants reduces the risk of cancer and heart disease.

    Strawberries are a great source of dietary fibers that are good for our digestive system and protect us against colon cancer. Strawberries are also good for our nervous system, they lower bad cholesterol, increase our immunity and make our skin young and beautiful. Now you know why I love strawberries so much, and I'm pretty sure you'll love them too.

    Strawberry Banana Muffins

    Last few days I've been thinking what's the easiest and quickest way to enjoy strawberries in the morning - beside having them fresh mixed in Strawberry Spirulina Smoothie. Muffins came to my thoughts instantly, since we LOVEEEE to eat muffins for breakfast.

    On Sunday, I mixed up this Strawberry Banana Muffins and my whole family loved it. Moist, flavorful and deliciously fragrant... what's there not to love. Beside that these Strawberry Banana Muffins are 100% HEALTHY, refined sugar-free and 100% addictive!

    Strawberry Banana Muffins

    I made these Strawberry Banana Muffins with whole wheat flour and as a sweetener I used ripe bananas. These muffins are great way to use overripe bananas - and I have them always in my house. Ripe bananas gives muffins more sweetness and incredible soft texture.

    In addition to having very little calories, these muffins are also enriched with healthy fats and proteins from coconut oil and Greek yogurt. Fragrant Ceylon cinnamon and aromatic vanilla rounded quite well this sweet muffin story.

    Beside being super rich in wonderful fruity flavors, packed with proteins and dietary fiber, and of course FRESH FRUITS, these strawberry muffins are beautifully sweet and so nutritious. Perfect Spring dessert.

    You can enjoy them while chilling on your sunny terrace with a cup of your favorite coffee on Sunday afternoon OR you can serve these beauties for breakfast along with your favorite morning tea. OR just have them whenever you want!

    Enjoy!

      Hello, Natalie. I've tried these, but used rice jelly and I think it did not work out so good, since I found it lacked sweetness (and I am not a sweet tooth at all). I must try again with honey. Thanks for all the good ideas! :) :)

        Hi, Vera :) I never tried rice jelly before so I don't know exactly how sweet it is. I always use honey or maple syrup for preparing my baked desserts. They are sweet but neutral in taste. Sometimes I use rice, maple or even date syrup but they are very strong in taste and tend to take the overall flavor of desserts. They are much better for making smoothies and raw desserts ;)
        Try making muffins with honey and add 3 tablespoons ;)
