Ingredients

  • For the muffins:
  • 1/4 cup Unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup Granulated sugar
  • 2 large Egg yolks
  • 2 large Egg whites
  • 2/3 cup Mashed bananas, approximately 2 small
  • 1/4 cup Sour cream
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp Baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp Kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp Ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup Fresh diced strawberries
  • For the vanilla frosting:
  • 4 tbsp Unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 2 cups Powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp Whole milk + more as needed
  • 1/4 tsp Kosher salt
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp Almond extract

Instructions 

  • For the muffins:
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 12-cup muffin pan with non-sticking spray. In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachement, cream the butter and granulated sugar. Next, add in the egg yolks and mix to combine. Add in the mashed bananas, sour cream, vanilla extract, and keep mixing.
  • In a large mixing bowl combine the baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and all-purpose flour. Add the flour mixture in thirds until well combined.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, add the two egg whites a fork or hand mixer beat the eggs whites until stiff. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter.
  • Next, fold in the chopped fresh strawberries. Using an ice cream scoop, scoop the batter into each muffin cup. Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes checking at the 15 minute mark to see the muffins need to be covered with foil if browning to quickly on top. You'll know the muffins are done when you insert a toothpick into the middle of the muffin and it comes out clean.
  • Let cool completely before frosting!
  • For the vanilla frosting:
  • In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment cream butter with 1 cup of powdered sugar.
  • Next, stir in vanilla, almond extract, and salt. Frosting will be thick. Gently pour in the milk and the remaining cup of powdered sugar.
  • If the frosting is too thick, add more milk. If the frosting is too runny, add in more sugar until desired spreadable frosting consistency.
