Good Morning! I hope everyone had a chance to get outside and enjoy some wonderful Spring weather this weekend. Today my children are headed back to school after being off for a week and I am trying to get back into my normal routine. This morning I wanted to fill those little tummies with something healthy, so I baked these yummy, filling Strawberry Muffins. These moist muffins are packed with whole wheat, oatmeal and fresh sweet strawberries. They can also be a great after school snack paired with a nice cold glass of milk. If you have any muffins left over, these also freeze very nicely. Does your family have a favorite strawberry recipe?
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 4 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Line muffin tins with paper liners and set aside.
- In a Kitchen Aid mixer, combine the flour, oats, sugars, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
- Mix together.
- Add the butter, oil, eggs, milk and vanilla.
- Stir together until moistened.
- Gently fold in the strawberries.
- Fill muffin liners 2/3 full and bake for 18-20 minutes or until toothpick inserted into muffin comes out clean.
- Let cool 10 minutes and remove them from the muffin pan and cool on a rack.
- Makes 18-22 muffins.
