Strawberry Greek Yogurt Balsamic Muffins

"These are not your typical morning muffins. Yes, you would think that these ingredients do not really go together, but they do! Balsamic vinegar highlights the flavor of strawberries. Some chefs actually say that strawberries are interchangeable with tomatoes because they share many flavor components. Prep time does not include the time for the strawberries to macerate.

  1. Wonderful muffins - made as directed except I used splenda for the sugar and only almond extract. I also used all regular flour - white and wholewheat. I made 24 muffins - had six for dinner and froze 12, and figure the rest will be gone by breakfast.These went fast! Thanks for sharing!
     
  2. These were really good. It's not strawberry season and I had a lot of blueberries so I used blueberries instead, lightly mashed. I didn't read the note about tomatoes until after I made them or I would have tried tomatoes. Otherwise followed the recipe exactly. The dough is really thick and they don't rise much. I made 18 and the cups were very full but they came out just right. Made for ZWT 9 - Greece
     
  3. Photo may be seen here in the Savor gallery: www.annacia.com .<br/><br/>So good!. I reduced the recipe to 8 muffins and made 5 big ones out of the amount I had. Used Splenda Brown and regular flours. These taste simply wonderful, sweet but not overly so. I didn't exactly measure the strawberries so I likely used a bit more than ask for but if so it sure didn't hurt anything :D. Even my very over sized muffins were fully baked at 18 mins so keep an eye out if making the standard size. Tender, moist and full of great flavor...how can you go wrong?
