Howdy! Are you ready for life getting easier after an Easter cooking marathon? Well, I am! 🙂 I decided to start my Monday with a simple yet nourishing breakfast -- real grab-and-go Gluten-free, 4-ingredient Strawberry Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins... that are so good that I am not sure whether there will be enough left over for an afternoon snack as well. 🙂
I ain't kidding, folks... there are really only four ingredients in these muffins: ripe bananas, eggs, strawberries, and chocolate chips.
This recipe is so easy that a kid could make it. All you have to do is to whisk mashed bananas with eggs, stir in chopped strawberries and chocolate chips, and bake for about 10-18 minutes. That's it!
This is one of those recipes that you can make just from memory... and I thank Tip Hero for the inspiration.
I woke up early feeling like I was in a race -- having to prepare breakfast up against the clock, and then to serve it to my children before they leave for school. When my husband can't take them, I'm the one who has to face traffic and even a line to take them in. Having something quick yet healthy to serve them, and also to take with me on the way, is a blessing.
Even if you don't have children, these Strawberry Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins will ease your commute to work. Just put them in a brown bag to devour with a cup of joe on the way... They will easily put a smile on your face!
After all, it is all about making life easy -- for you and me!
4-ingredient Strawberry Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
Ingredients
- 2 medium ripe bananas
- 4 large eggs at room temperature
- 6 leaves strawberries removed and finely chopped
- 6-8 tablespoons semisweet mini chocolate chips
- Powdered sugar to sprinkle on top OPTIONAL
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray down either a 6-cup standard-size or a 12-cup mini muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray and reserve.
- In a medium bowl, mash the bananas with a fork and then whisk in the eggs. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Place an equal amount of the finely chopped strawberries into each muffin compartment. Pour the banana/egg/chocolate chip mixture on top. Beat the muffin tin against a hard surface to remove air bubbles from the muffin mixture. Bake for approximately 17-18 minutes (standard-size) or 10-12 minutes (mini), or until muffins are set.
- Let them cool slightly and remove from the pan. Sprinkle/sift a bit of powdered sugar on top, if desired. Enjoy! YIELD: 6-8 standard-size muffins or 12 mini muffins.
