Strawberry Banana Oat Muffins with Hemp Hearts

A very moist, healthy muffin.  One of my most popular muffin recipes.  You can substitute wheat germ for the hemp hearts if you wish.

1 cup all purpose flour or substitute whole wheat flour

1 cup old fashioned oats

½ cup granulated sugar

1 ½ tsp.

baking powder

1 tsp. baking soda

¼ cup hemp hearts

¼ tsp. salt

1 egg

2 cups mashed ripe bananas (5-6)

¼ cup melted becel or soft margarine

1 cup washed, hulled strawberries cut in small pieces

Coarse sugar in the raw for sprinkling on top

Preheat oven to 375° and spay 12 muffin cups with non-stick spray or line with paper liners

Mash bananas and measure 2 cups and set aside.

Wash, hull and slice strawberries to measure 1 cup, set aside.

Combine first 7 ingredients in a large mixing bowl.  Mix well with a whisk.

Beat with a whisk, egg and mashed banana together in a smaller bowl, whisk in the margarine.

Add banana mixture to the dry ingredients mix just until moistened with a spatula.  Fold in strawberries, reserving 12 pieces for the tops of the muffins.  Fill muffin cups full, top with a strawberry slice and a sprinkle of coarse sugar in the raw.  Bake for 22-28 minutes or when pick inserted in a middle muffins comes out clean.

Enjoy !
