Some strawberry muffin recipes call for sprinkling turbinado sugar (coarse sugar) on the tops of the muffins before baking. I personally liked the banana and applesauce muffins best. I made strawberry muffins with applesauce, strawberry banana muffins and strawberry yogurt muffins.Īll three batches were delicious, so whether you use banana, applesauce or yogurt is really just a matter of personal preference and what ingredients you have in your kitchen. In muffins, applesauce, mashed banana and yogurt are often used in place of some of the fat in a recipe. To keep these fresh strawberry muffins on the healthier side, I wanted to replace some of the butter with a more nutritious ingredient. All of the muffin recipes on my website freeze well, including these strawberry muffins and pumpkin muffins! I recommend a zip-top bag because you can squeeze excess air out. Seal your muffins in an air-tight container. Be sure to freeze your muffins right away after they cool for the freshest frozen muffins later on. Muffins freeze really well and taste just as good as the day you bake them after they defrost. Pair them with a hard boiled egg or some yogurt or cottage cheese for protein. Homemade strawberry muffins are simple to make for your family’s breakfast or snack.

This strawberry muffin recipe is especially simple because the batter is mixed up in one bowl, starting with the wet ingredients and finishing with the dry. If you are new to baking, muffins are an easy recipe to start with. I’m excited to make blackberry muffins next! Just try to use 1 1/2 cups of berries total. You’ll need about 1 1/2 cups of chopped fresh strawberries for these whole wheat strawberry muffins, or you can use a combination of fresh berries. They’re still perfect for baking, though!

I try to buy organic strawberries but they always seem to lose their firmness after a few days.
