Ingredients

• 1/4 c. unsalted butter, melted
• 1/4 c. yogurt or applesauce
• 3/4 c. light brown sugar
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 2 large ripe bananas, mashed
• 1 c. fresh or frozen strawberries, finely diced
• 2 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
• 1/4 tsp. baking soda
• 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• white sugar, for topping

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and position rack in center of oven. Line muffin pan with paper liners or grease with non-stick spray.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and mashed bananas. Add yogurt and melted butter and stir to combine.

3. In another large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gently fold in the strawberries, making sure they are coated with flour (to prevent sinking). Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

4. Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full. Sprinkle top of muffins with sugar. Bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into center of muffin comes out clean. Transfer to wire rack to cool.
