ARE STRAWBERRY BANANA MUFFINS HEALTHY?

Classic strawberry banana muffins are made with refined white flour and a lot of sugar, making them into a not so healthy muffin. My healthy sourdough strawberry banana muffins are not only made with gut healthy sourdough, but the rest of the ingredients are also healthy too!

GUT HEALTHY BENEFITS OF SOURDOUGH STRAWBERRY BANANA MUFFINS

• Supports a Healthy Gut Microbiome – Sourdough discard contains prebiotics, which help nourish beneficial gut bacteria, promoting better digestion and overall gut balance.
• Easier to Digest – The fermentation process in sourdough helps break down gluten and phytic acid, making these muffins gentler on digestion compared to conventional baked goods.
• Naturally Sweetened for Blood Sugar Balance – Using bananas and honey or maple syrup instead of refined sugar helps prevent blood sugar spikes, which can disrupt gut health and cause inflammation.
• Rich in Fiber for Digestion – Bananas and strawberries are both great sources of dietary fiber, which helps keep your digestive system running smoothly and supports healthy bowel movements.
• Anti-Inflammatory & Nutrient-Dense – These muffins are made with whole, real ingredients that nourish your gut while providing essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

TIPS FOR MAKING THE BEST HEALTHY SOURDOUGH STRAWBERRY BANANA MUFFIN RECIPE

USE ULTRA RIPE BANANAS. To get the sweetest flavor without all the sugar in your sourdough strawberry banana muffins, make sure you use ultra ripe bananas, which add natural sweetness to your muffin.

MELT THEN COOL THE COCONUT OIL. Super hot coconut oil will start to cook your eggs!

IF USING FROZEN BANANAS, BRING THEM TO ROOM TEMP FIRST. Frozen bananas can quickly harden the coconut oil and give you oily patches in your muffin where the coconut oil didn't blend in all the way.

MIX DRY INTO WET INGREDIENTS UNTIL JUST COMBINED. Do not over mix any muffin batter! Over mixing batter will give you chewy muffins instead of light and fluffy.

COOL ON A WIRE RACK. This allows air to circulate the bottom of the muffins so they don't get wet and soggy.

Follow these tips and you'll get the most perfect sourdough discard strawberry banana muffins every time!

HOW TO MAKE SOURDOUGH STRAWBERRY BANANA MUFFINS

Start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line 12 muffin tins.

In a medium sized bowl, mash the 2 bananas. Then, add the rest of the wet ingredients, and mix them into the bananas to fully incorporate everything:

• 1 cup sourdough discard
• ⅓ cup pure maple syrup or honey
• ⅓ cup avocado oil or melted coconut oil
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

NOTE: if you are using frozen bananas, make sure to thaw them completely first! If they are still cold AT ALL, they will turn your coconut oil rock hard!

In a separate bowl, sift together the dry ingredients:

• ¾ cup flour (all-purpose, white wheat, whole wheat, or 1:1 gluten-free)
• 2 teaspoons baking powder (aluminum-free)
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt

Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just incorporated. Don't overmix or you can end up with less fluffy muffins! Finally, gently fold in the 1 cup fresh diced strawberries.

NOTE: make sure you use fresh strawberries if you can. Frozen strawberries not properly thawed and drained can make your muffins very wet and soggy.

Divide the batter between 12 muffin tins and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

They will be done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Store your healthy sourdough discard strawberry banana muffins, covered, at room temperature for up to 3 days. They are always best fresh out of the oven!
