Strawberry Recipe ❘ Healthier Fresh Strawberry Muffins

This is my two-year-old's favorite fresh strawberry muffin recipe! While it's a sweet muffin, the ingredients are healthy enough that I feel good about giving her one for breakfast. They only last a couple of days fresh, but freeze beautifully - I usually put half in the freezer right away and enjoy them for months!

Serving:24 muffins

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups rolled oats
  • 1 ¼ cups whole wheat flour
  • ⅓ cup white sugar
  • ¼ cup flax seed meal
  • 2 tablespoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • ¾ cup coconut oil, melted
  • ½ cup applesauce
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, chopped, or more to taste

Cooking Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 24 muffin cups or line with paper liners.
  2. Mix all-purpose flour, oats, whole wheat flour, sugar, flax seed meal, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Stir in milk, coconut oil, applesauce, and eggs. Fold in strawberries.
  3. Fill the prepared muffin tins evenly with batter, about 3/4 full.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
Sometimes I vary the oil and applesauce a bit - as long as the oil and applesauce equals 1 1/4 cups total, it's turned out fine. You can also sprinkle some raw sugar over the top before baking to make these more of a dessert; I usually heat the coconut oil a bit to make it a liquid for measuring, which also helps it mix in well. If you add cold milk to coconut oil, it will clump up; You can mash a few of the strawberries to add more color and strawberry flavor, if desired.
