With Memorial Day weekend, we herald in the unofficial start of summer… and summer to me means berries. Sure, you can buy berries year-round nowadays, but they taste soooo much better if you wait until they’re actually in season!
It’s around this time of year that I finally tire of eating apples and get excited for summer produce. I picked up my first package of organic strawberries of the season the other day and demolished half of it while hovering over the sink. I somehow managed to set aside a few for these mini muffins (and doughnuts); the batter of which is mixed in just one bowl.
Mini muffins!
Perhaps it’s because I spend every day staring at Lily’s mini fingers, mini toes, and mini – well – everything that I was inspired to turn the overripe banana, and previously mentioned succulent strawberries, sitting on our counter into mini muffins and doughnuts.
In a country obsessed with oversized food items (have you been to a bakery lately? My gosh.), it’s fun to make (and eat) miniature versions of your favorites from time to time.
