Strawberry Muffins Recipe

Muffins make a quick breakfast when you are on the go, but store-bought varieties are often loaded with calories and saturated fat. You can make a healthier muffin when you prepare them at home. The mashed strawberries and applesauce in this muffin reduce the need for added sugar and oil. Whole wheat flour adds fiber to make them more filling.

Yield: 6 muffins

Preparation time: 15 minutes

Bake time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • ½ cup sliced fresh strawberries, mashed
  • ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup raw sugar
  • ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp fine ground sea salt
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a standard 6-muffin baking tin with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, stir together the mashed strawberries and applesauce. Stir in the egg until all ingredients are mixed together. Stir in the raw sugar and vanilla extract.
  3. Add the baking soda and salt. Stir well until there are no longer any white clumps from the baking soda.
  4. Fold in the flour and mix just until all ingredients are incorporated into a batter. Transfer the batter to the muffin tin, filling each slot with an equal amount.
  5. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffins comes out clean. Let cool for 5 minutes, remove from the muffin tin and serve warm, or transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
