Easy Strawberry Banana Muffins (With Yogurt)

I am always looking for great recipes to try. With a picky toddler on hand finding ways to get her to eat more fruits and veggies can be tricky.  For example, Buggy loves her banana's but can be picky with certain strawberry items. I had some Stoneyfield Strawberry Banana yogurt that she wouldn't eat and I didn't want it to go to waste. My favorite is strawberry banana but I thought I would try and use them in a recipe if I could and try and expand her pallet just a bit. I found this super easy banana recipe and modified it just a tad. I used whole wheat flour and the muffins were so moist.

This recipe is super simple and a great way to get your little one to help. Perfect for Sunday morning family time.

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour  (I used whole wheat)
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 cup mashed ripe banana
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1 toddler size container of Stoneyfield strawberry banana yogurt (you can use any kind you want or use applesauce)
• 1 egg
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Grease muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners.
3. Mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
4. In a separate bowl, beat together banana, sugar, egg and vanilla. Stir in the yogurt 
5. Stir banana mixture into flour until just combined. Scoop batter into prepared muffin cups.
6. Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into center of a muffin comes out clean. Let cool before serving.

Enjoy!

Stoneyfield Yogurt Taste Test

Recently I received an invitation for a taste test at Stoneyfield Farms. We love Stoneyfield yogurt in our house. It’s the only yogurt my daughter will eat.

I didn’t realize Stoneyfield Farms had a Visitor’s Center about a half hour from my house where you can sample yummy yogurt and buy it at discount prices. On Tuesdays they have story time where you can hear about their early days on the farm and check out their kids stuff, eco-goodies and kitchen helpers.

I tested a few different vanilla flavors and you can certainly tell the difference. I’ve never been to a taste test before. I also tried the Strawberry Greek Yogurt. I really liked it. Greek yogurt is a bit heavier than the regular one. It has a lot of protein and it’s quite filling. The first few bites were a bit tarty but if you can get past that it’s really good. I was there for about a half hour and received a few free samples for my time and I also stocked up on some more yogurt for Buggy. My daughter eats 2-3 containers a day.

If you are a fan of Stoneyfield’s make sure you check out their website at stoneyfield.com for coupons and sign up for their rewards program. You can find the codes on one of the yogurt lids.

Are you a fan of Stoneyfield Organic Yogurt?
