COOLIO'S STRAWBERRY BANANA MUFFINS


Yup, you read it right.. Coolio the rapper bakes too. I was googling for recipes with strawberries and found this at sweetspot.ca (click on the title for the link). Monica Reyes of Nervous Chef was contributing her tried and tested recipes there.

If you are a newbie at baking, why not give this a try? It is so easy to make. The muffins are guaranteed to come out so pretty :)




Strawberry Fields Banana Muffins Forever


A few drops olive oil
½ stick unsalted butter, softened*
½ cup milk
1 large egg
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
¾ cup sugar
1 cup chopped strawberries
1 banana, thinly sliced
A regular old muffin tin


*Monica’s note: melted butter will work too and is preferable. This makes mixing easier.



Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Farenheit.

Use a few drops of olive oil to grease up a muffin tin. (I used muffin case instead)

Combine the butter, milk, and egg in a small bowl and beat it lightly.

In a larger bowl, pour your flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar and gently mix it.

Toss in the chopped strawberries and sliced banana, then stir to coat with the flour mixture.

Pour in your milk mixture and stir it all up together.

Fill up the muffin cups with your batter, then place in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes.

Let them cool down for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and serve these bad boys up.
