It`s strawberry season! I`m definitely one of those people who love fruits in their desserts. Muffins are considered breakfast food, but since it`s sweet and baked, I often eat them as a dessert as well. To me, muffins are quick breads, like banana bread, in individual serving sizes. Haha. Sure, they`re not as dense and the texture is different to loaf breads, but since they`re usually quick and easy to make, I enjoy baking them often.
The strawberry and banana combo is a popular favorite. I love the combination myself, so I wanted to combine the same flavors in muffin form. I also, always "happen to have" (read: I always make SURE I have) Biscoff spread in my pantry...I so knew it`ll be a great addition to the strawberry and banana combo flavor.
With that idea in mind, these muffins were born. Completely delicious and wonderful for a morning breakfast or for a snack randomly during the day...I mean, why the heck not, right? They have the Biscoff and banana flavor with strawberry bites scattered throughout. I love them and think you will, too. :)
