Homemade muffins are one of my all-time favorite healthy clean eating snacks. I keep a stash in the freezer to keep me from eating them all at once. They defrost easily in the microwave when I want something quick, easy and to curb the sweet cravings. My kitchen always has some sort of snack, whether I’m sipping on a delicious smoothie, or healthy energy balls, muffins and/or donuts. I am a huge ‘snacker’ so these have played a large part in my clean eating journey to losing over 50 lbs. Not to mention you can easily switch things up to adjust any muffins recipe to your liking just by changing out the fruit.

Clean Eating Basics

That being said, I am all about eating healthy and clean eating. If you are new to a clean eating way of life then you need to check out Everything You Need to Know about a Clean Eating Diet. You can also see how I lost 50 lbs and am keeping it off by following a clean eating diet here: How I Lost 50 Lbs Clean Eating. I tend to try different things and mix different flavors to keep meals healthy and tasty. Snacks are also my jam. I love making homemade protein bars, muffins, and energy bites. You can never have too many snacks on hand. Just don’t eat them all at once.

How to Make Gluten-Free Banana Muffins with Strawberries

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Spray or line a muffin pan. (these silicone liners are pretty great: HERE – I forgot to use them with this muffin recipe, oops)
Melt/soften the coconut oil.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk all of the dry ingredients together. (1/2 cup buckwheat flour, 1/4 cup almond flour, 1 Tbsp arrowroot flour, 1 tsp baking powder)
In a smaller bowl, mash the banana then add in the rest of the wet ingredients (2 eggs, 3 Tbsp coconut oil, 1/4 cup pure maple syrup). Don’t add the strawberries just yet. Mix well to combine.
Next, pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix well. Allow the muffin mixture to set for 3 minutes or so to allow the wet ingredients to absorb into the dry.
Gently, fold in the strawberries.
Portion your batter into 6 muffin cups. You can also top with a few strawberry slices if you’d like.
Bake in the oven for 19-21 minutes. When the tops begin to turn golden perform the toothpick test. (stick a toothpick in and pull it out. If the toothpick comes out clean then your homemade healthy muffins are ready).
Remove from the oven and allow your strawberry banana muffins to cool in the muffin pan.
