Coolio's Strawberry Banana Muffins

I guess I was the last to know that Coolio isn't just a rapper-- he's actually a really good cook too!  Here's a recipe from his book, "Cookin With Coolio."  You can also watch his um, interesting cooking show here: Cookin' With Coolio.
These were made even better since I used fresh strawberries and bananas.  They were definitely a hit!

Ingredients:

• a few drops of olive oil
• 1/2 stick unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 1 3/4 cups flour
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 cup chopped strawberries
• 1 banana, thinly sliced

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Grease your muffin tin with the olive oil.
3. Combine butter, milk, and egg in a small bowl and beat lightly.
4. In a larger bowl, combine flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar.
5. Toss in the chopped strawberries and bananas into the flour mixture and stir to coat.
6. Pour in the milk mixture and stir together.  Mixture will be thick!
7. Fill the muffin tins with your batter, then bake for 25 minutes (or until the tops of the muffins are slightly browned).
8. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from the muffin tin.
9. Turn on some Gangster's Paradise and devour those bad boys.
