Strawberry Yogurt Muffins

Submitted by CookinwithGas

"A nice simple recipe for a fruited muffin, this time strawberry...My sister is a strawberry fanatic and always asks for this when she comes for a visit...This recipe has been updated to substitute oil for the butter and substitute Egg Beaters (egg whites) for the whole egg...It may seem (to some) a little denser than the usual muffin but its an excellent breakfast or snack item nonetheless :D"

I've made these twice and they turned out well; the one minor change was to lightly coat the strawberry pieces with flour so they would stay separate; it added a small amount of flour to the recipe. I was surprised at how moist the cupcakes were when first taken out of the oven, but we liked them that way; and by the next day they were no longer moist.

Very good, moist muffins! My kids and I enjoyed these very much. It was a little hard to chop frozen strawberries so I put mine in the vitamix and let it finely chop them for me. I cooked mine at 325 degrees for about 20 minutes.

These muffins are excellent!! Followed the recipe but used 1 egg instead of the egg sub and demerara sugar and they came out great! I just added a teaspoon of cinnamon and vanilla extract. Thanks so much for sharing!

Tasty muffins but because of the strawberries and amount of moisture in the batter, found I needed to bake until the muffins were almost brown. Followed the recipe except used 1 egg and omitted nuts. Sprayed the muffin cups with oil mister and had no problem with sticking. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
