Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups chopped fresh strawberries about 10 ounces strawberries
  • ¼ cup all purpose flour
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter may substitute coconut oil
  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce or mashed ripe banana or plain Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup pure maple syrup or honey
  • ¼ cup milk whichever kind you prefer
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup white whole wheat flour
  • ½ cup all purpose flour

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray or line with parchment paper liners.
  • Place chopped strawberries in a bowl and toss gently with ¼ cup all purpose flour. Set aside.
  • Place butter in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high heat until butter is melted.
  • Add the applesauce, mashed banana or Greek yogurt to the bowl with the butter. Add the pure maple syrup or honey, milk, vanilla and eggs. Whisk until well combined.
  • Add the baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk until well combined.
  • Add the white whole wheat flour and ½ cup all purpose flour. Use a rubber spatula or spoon to mix until almost combined. Fold in the strawberries until just combined. Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin wells.
  • Bake for 16-18 minutes, until a tester inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes and then remove them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
  • Muffins can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days. Place them on top of a paper towel to absorb excess moisture, and seal them in an airtight container. Muffins can be stored in the freezer, wrapped airtight, for up to 2 months.
