Strawberry & Banana Muffins

I thought only during spring and summer the strawberries are on sale but was surprised to find 'winter strawberries' in Aldi last weekend so bought a few boxes! And guess what? They were sweet! :D

There were some ripe bananas on the counter and I thought why not bake some muffins? And how about adding some strawberries since I have so many??? They were yummy!!! The sweetness from the banana is neutralized by the mild acidity from the strawberries which make them perfect!

I just love them when they are warm!
