1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
2 ripe bananas, mashed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup fresh strawberries, diced (or you can use frozen, thawed, and drained)
For Topping (optional):
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions:
Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter. Mix well.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Stir in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract until combined.
Combine Ingredients:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the diced strawberries gently.
Fill Muffin Tin:
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Add Topping (Optional):
In a small bowl, mix together granulated sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle a little of this mixture on top of each muffin before baking for added sweetness and a touch of spice.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool:
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
