These delicious Strawberry, Banana & Yoghurt Muffins are the BEST!!! They’re packed full of bananas and strawberries…. making them seriously YUM!!
Well hello there!!! I’m so glad to see you… (well ‘cyber’-see-you!). But seriously. I am soooo glad you’ve come to this post because now you get to see one of my fave muffin recipes. Yep, these Strawberry, Banana & Yoghurt Muffins are pretty darn fab (if I do say so myself!).
I love this recipe because you end up with a whole heap of kick-ass muffins. But I love it even more because it’s so versatile. You can use fresh or frozen strawberries. You can substitute the strawberries for any kind of fruit you like. You can use any yoghurt you like… (I love plain greek yoghurt or a berry flavoured one). See… super duper versatile.
Oooh and did I mention that these muffins are also made with mashed banana?? It gives them the perfect texture AND is the BEST way to use up all those overripe bananas you have lying around.
These Strawberry, Banana and Yoghurt Muffins got the big tick of approval from my little Will, myself and my hubby… which is kind of the winning trifecta, right!?
Make a batch today… eat a few while they’re super fresh and delicious and then pop the leftovers into the freezer for a quick and easy snack on the run.

Can this recipe be done into a loaf?
Hi Mirjana, I haven’t made it into a loaf before, so I’m not sure exactly how it would turn out. 🙂
Hi are these freezer friendly?
Absolutely!!
We LOVE this recipe!
Miss 5 makes on her own ( supervised of course)
We use any yogurt in the fridge that is getting close to expiration, strawberries and bananas that are almost ready to be thrown. If we haven’t got strawberries we’ve used frozen berry mix from the freezer as well. They freeze and defrost well too making them the perfect lunch box treat!
That’s fantastic! Thank you so much xx
