Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate medium bowl, mix Greek yogurt, milk, vegetable oil, and egg until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together using a spatula. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix the batter.
- Gently fold in the chopped fresh strawberries, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Fresh Strawberries: For the best flavor, use ripe, fresh strawberries. If strawberries are out of season, you can substitute with other berries like blueberries or raspberries.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to dense muffins, so a few lumps are perfectly fine!
- Customize Your Muffins: Feel free to add in extras like chopped nuts, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or even a handful of chocolate chips for a fun twist.
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so start checking your muffins at the 18-minute mark. They’re done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Storage: Keep your muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze them for longer storage. Just pop them in the microwave for a few seconds to enjoy them warm!
- Serving Suggestions: These muffins are delightful on their own, but you can also serve them with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a drizzle of honey for an extra treat.
