Instructions:

1. To begin creating these delectable strawberry yogurt muffins, preheat your oven to 190°C/375°F. For a lovely touch, I personally used a heart-shaped silicone muffin pan, but fret not if you don’t have one! A regular greased muffin tin works just as wonderfully.

2. In a large bowl, sift together the whole wheat flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. This step sets the foundation for our strawberry yogurt muffins, ensuring a well-blended and flavorful batter.

3. In a small blender or food processor, combine the yogurt, eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Blend the ingredients together until they form a smooth and creamy mixture. This will serve as the delightful wet mixture for our muffins.

4. Add the blended wet ingredients into the dry ingredients all at once. Gently stir with a fork or a rubber spatula until just combined. The batter will be lumpy and that’s fine. Avoid over-mixing which will result in tough muffins.

5. Now, let’s add some bursts of fruity goodness! Take the half cup of chopped strawberries and gently fold them into the muffin batter. Be careful not to overmix; we want the strawberries to be evenly distributed without breaking down too much.

6. It’s time to fill our muffin tin with the delectable batter. Fill each cup up to about three-quarters of its capacity, allowing room for the muffins to rise and expand while baking. For an extra touch of strawberry goodness, top each filled cup with a few pieces of chopped strawberries.

7. Pop the muffin tin into the preheated oven and let our strawberry yogurt muffins bake for about 20 to 25 minutes. Keep an eye on them and look for the tops to spring back lightly when touched. You can also do the toothpick test – insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin, and if it comes out clean, they’re ready!

8. Once out of the oven, allow the strawberry yogurt muffins to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. This will help them set and become easier to handle. Afterward, carefully transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely. This step ensures that they cool evenly and maintain their delightful texture.

9. It’s time to enjoy the delicious fruits of our labor! Serve the strawberry yogurt muffins warm, alongside a comforting glass of milk, a steaming cup of tea, or a fragrant cup of coffee. The warmth of the muffins, combined with your favorite beverage, creates a delightful pairing that will surely satisfy your taste buds.

These Strawberry Yogurt Muffins are free from butter and sugar, using oil and coconut sugar instead. Coconut Sugar, also known as Coconut Palm Sugar has a low Glycemic Index. It doesn’t spike the blood sugar as regular sugar does and it is just as sweet as regular sugar. If you can’t find it, feel free to use regular sugar instead. The yogurt in the recipe doesn’t just amp up the health quotient, it also makes the muffins softer. So go ahead and bake these yummy, ‘love’ muffins for all the loved ones in your life!
