The Best Strawberry Muffins Recipe From Scratch
I love strawberries and I love muffins. Grab your spatula and muffin pans, because we are making the best Strawberry Muffins ever.
Muffin recipes are quick to make, because they are considered quick breads. Quick breads don’t need yeast or kneading, which makes them quick and easy. And best of all, they are delicious!
There’s nothing better than fresh strawberries. For a low calorie and all natural breakfast, you will enjoy my recipe for Strawberry Almond Muffins. The recipe includes fresh strawberries, applesauce and oatmeal, so you know that they are healthy.
It’s very satisfying to know that you make your own muffins. These muffins don’t have any preservatives like store bought muffins. And the portion size is normal for a muffin. One muffin is one serving and only 186 calories. Some store muffins have 500 calories. Be careful. These muffins are so good that you may be tempted to eat two.
If you are watching your weight, eat one muffin for breakfast and add a scoop of Greek yogurt or a handful of your favorite nuts for protein. This quick, on-the-go breakfast is balanced and tasty. One muffin also makes a healthy, low calorie snack.
Out of fresh strawberries? Substitute whatever fresh fruit you have in the kitchen. Blueberries or peaches are awesome. Are you out of almond extract? Substitute vanilla extract.
