Healthy Strawberry Muffins
These muffins are light, fluffy, and bursting with the freshness of strawberries! Here’s how to make them:
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, mix the melted coconut oil, honey (or maple syrup), almond milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the diced strawberries, being careful to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these healthy strawberry muffins warm or at room temperature. They’re perfect for meal prepping, and you can even store them in an airtight container for a week! Happy baking!
