These are tremendous muffins when you consider that the only added fat is in the egg and chocolate chips. Really moist and flavorful. I used fat free vanilla yogurt, left out the zest, and used regular chocolate chips as I had no white ones. Still great muffins. They don't have much strawberry taste; they are more chocolate muffins with the added benefit of the fiber from the strawberries. My only issue is that they are a strange color because of adding the pureed strawberry. I'll be making again!

I followed the recipe exactly. The texture was great & I got appx 55 mini-muffins cooked for 15 mins @ 350. But I didn't get much strawberry taste. It could have been the strawberries, but it wasn't as good as I hoped. However, my kids LOVE it!

NurseDi, I think your amount of servings is off on this recipe. I used a regular sized muffin tin and the recipe made 24 muffins. I even filled the tins three quarters full like the instructions said. Also, there was no temperature at which to bake these given in the instructions. I baked them at 350 and they were done within 15 minutes. The muffins were moist and the combination of strawberries and white chocolate was divine. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe.
