Healthy Strawberry Muffins  Ingredients

Here’s what you need to make Healthy Strawberry Muffins :

Dry Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
• ½ cup rolled oats
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

• 2 large eggs
• ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
• ⅓ cup honey or maple syrup
• ¼ cup coconut oil or vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ cup milk
• 1 ½ cups fresh strawberries, chopped into small pieces

How to Make Healthy Strawberry Muffins 

Step 1: Make the Batter

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until evenly mixed, then in another bowl whisk together the eggs, Greek yogurt, honey, oil, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and creamy before pouring the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stirring everything together until just combined, then carefully fold in the chopped strawberries without overmixing the batter so the muffins stay soft and fluffy after baking.

Step 2: Fill the Muffin Pan

Prepare a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup with cooking spray, then use a spoon or ice cream scoop to evenly divide the batter between the muffin cups, filling each one about three-quarters full to leave enough space for the muffins to rise beautifully in the oven, and if desired sprinkle extra oats or small strawberry pieces on top for a pretty homemade bakery-style finish.

Step 3: Bake the Muffins

Place the muffin tin into a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake the muffins for about 18–22 minutes until the tops become lightly golden and the kitchen smells sweet and fruity, then check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin and making sure it comes out clean or with only a few crumbs attached.

Step 4: Cool and Serve

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the muffin pan for about 5 minutes before carefully transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely, then serve the muffins warm or at room temperature with milk, yogurt, tea, coffee, or fresh fruit for a healthy breakfast, snack, or quick treat during the day.
