A wholesome breakfast, these Banana Strawberry Wheat Muffins are packed with good-for-you ingredients. Perfect for an on-the-go breakfast, Sunday brunch, or even as a decadent dessert!
How do you celebrate berry season?
Berry season is one of my favorite fruit seasons. What better way to savor nature’s bounty than by baking up a batch of these delicious Banana Strawberry Wheat Muffins. One of the greatest things about muffins has to be that they are pretty much cupcakes without frosting. It is completely acceptable to eat these whole wheat muffins for breakfast since that is what they were made for! Another thing I love about them is that they are portable and are a convenient on-the-go breakfast for all of us busy bodies.
These banana strawberry whole wheat muffins are made with whole wheat flour, yogurt, coconut oil, almond milk, and a touch of brown sugar. We usually have almond milk in the fridge to make smoothies with, but you can also use coconut milk, other nut milk, or even regular milk. These muffins are packed with good-for-you ingredients and taste like the real deal. You don’t have to settle for those other healthy but spongy muffins. These muffins are really moist and soft thanks to the banana purée and yogurt. The crunchy oat streusel topping adds another layer of texture.
Whole wheat muffins for breakfast, anyone?
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. But for most of us, our mornings are so busy that eating might not be first on the list. A batch of these banana strawberry whole wheat muffins makes twelve, so you and your family can all grab one on the way out the door. You can also pack them as an afternoon snack in your lunch box for that extra energy boost when you need it.

Notes
Home Chef Tips: The streusel can become solid when kept in the fridge for too long, just break it up with your hand or a butter knife and use as normal. Use a potato masher to mash banana or use a food processor or blender to purée.
