Why I love this recipe

Step by step
These strawberry muffins are very easy to make!
- Start by mixing the sugar, eggs, oil, yogurt, and vanilla together.
- In a separate bowl, you'll mix the flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients and gently fold the strawberries into the batter.
- Fill the baking cups and dust with sugar for that special crisp top.
- Bake for 25 minutes and enjoy!
Tips for best results
- I recommend making these with fresh strawberries, not frozen, to make sure they don't get soggy. I used about a half a pint of berries per batch for mine but you can easily add or subtract from that amount depending on how you prefer them. (The more the better in my book!)
- For light and fluffy muffins, be sure not to overmix the batter.
- Change the yogurt to experiment: use Greek yogurt to add extra protein or a plant-based yogurt to eliminate the dairy.
FAQs
Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator up to 5 days.
Freeze in a freezer-safe container up to a month. To thaw individually wrap each muffin in plastic wrap before freezing. Thaw at room temperature overnight.
