Strawberry Banana Muffins~A Sweet Punch

This August month‘s Sweet Punch was Strawberry Banana Muffins from Joy of Baking.

The first reaction I got was as expected, Ma……… and a sour face. But as the idea gradually sank in I was asked,” Ma when are you baking those muffins? “So now that the green signal was waved there was no stopping to making these muffins.

I had already decided to halve the given recipe and I got 6 ½ muffins, 6 huge ones and one small oneJ!!

The only hassle was that we have no fresh strawberries in the market they will start coming somewhere in October or November so I substituted

1 cup Fresh strawberries with ½ cup of strawberry crush

½ cup unsalted butter with ¼ cup salted butter (no salt)

¾ cup light brown sugar with ½ and 1/8   cup ordinary sugar

I had no means of grinding cinnamon hence I did not use it

The muffins were yummy, soft fluffy and colourful but too sweet. Next time I will reduce the sugar ½ a cup.

I will like to thank Sweet Punch for introducing me to a new taste that I had heard of but never tried.
