Browned Butter Berry Banana Muffins
Did you rush out the door again today with out eating breakfast?
Did you stop at the coffee shop on your way to work, or getting your kids to school and grab “the usual”?
What if “the usual” became something delicious, warm and perfect for on the go? The best part? It doesn’t take a million ingredients or a ton of time!
Browned butter makes this muffin a total winner with deep nutty flavours, and the burst of strawberries and blueberries adds a freshness like none other! I absolutely loved the combo of this and will keep these stocked in the pantry no matter what.
Also, any friends on weight watchers? They little beauties come in a 6 Smart Points a piece, and I have to say they definitely rival any loaf of muffin from Starbucks! #Biased
The Ingredients:
- 1 stick of butter
- 1 1/4 cup flour
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup of brown sugar
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 eggs
- 2 bananas
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1/2 cup strawberries
- 1 tsp vanilla
The Directions:
- In a stainless steel pot over medium heat add the stick of butter and melt.
- Once melted, whisk constantly over medium heat. It will start to turn a golden colour, and once, that happens remove from the heat and continue whisking another 45 seconds. Set aside and let cool.
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
- In a large bowl, add the flour, baking soda and sugars. Whisk together.
- In a food processor, add the melted browned butter, bananas, vanilla, and eggs. Pulse until mixed together. Add to the flour mixture.
- Stir everything together until mixed well. Add the strawberries and blueberries. Stir gently.
- Spoon into a prepared muffin tin. Each well should be 3/4 full.
- Bake about 45 minutes or until a deep golden brown.
I like warming up the muffins for about 15 seconds in the microwave before eating. Then they taste almost like they came out of the oven! I always like having one “baked” item in the house per week… I feel like it helps keep me on track, less visits through the drive through and more makes me feel better about choosing a smart snack.
These also work perfectly on children’s lunches! We are a nut free school so the browned butter gives that nutty flavour with out risking another child’s life! And besides… your kids can help you make these! #KidsInTheKitchen

Great flavor combo and I loooove browned butter!
LOVE browned butter, it makes everything so amazing!
This sound so good, I love the addition of the browned butter in combination with the berries!
I have been to try something with brown butter for so long! Apart from ravioli I havent experimented much. This looks and sounds perfect! Yum
What lovely muffins, I have never browned the butter before so I am interested to know what taste difference it makes compared to just adfing butter or oil in normal way.
I find it gives it a deeper nuttier flavour. Almost like brown sugar.
banana muffins sound like a great breakfast option. D you think I can also freeze them? Don’t know if they’ll make it to the freezer, but you never know 🙂
Absolutely you can freeze them! They last about 2-3months in the freezer. I always try and sneak a small bag of six in my freezer so I know I have muffins in a pinch (when I’m scrambling to look for additions to the kids lunches or grocery day is just two days away and I have nada for breakfast).
These look totally delicious!
