Strawberry Muffins

Strawberry muffins that are deliciously gluten and dairy-free!  The perfect recipe filled with fresh, sweet chopped strawberries.  With a few ingredients, this recipe takes less than a half-hour from start to finish! 

How to make:

1- Gather and measure the ingredients.  

Ingredients:

• Gluten-free flour
• Maple syrup
• Large egg
• Coconut oil
• Fresh chopped strawberries
• Vanilla extract
• Baking powder
• Sea salt

2- In a medium mixing bowl, add the dry ingredients and whisk together.

3- In another small mixing bowl, add the wet ingredients and whisk together.

4- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir just to combine.  Add the chopped strawberries and stir or fold them in.

5- Pour the muffin batter into 7 paper muffin liners in a muffin pan.  If using silicone liners, pour into 8 liners and place in muffin pan.

6- Bake the muffins for about 18 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.  

Below are the muffins made in silicone liners.  I often prefer using these as they are washable and the muffins don't stick and come out easily.

7- Once muffins are removed from the oven, let them cool, and then serve.

Tips and Techniques:

• Consider using silicone muffin liners since paper liners can result in muffins sticking to the paper.
• Add additional chopped strawberries to the top of the muffins prior to baking.  It adds extra flavor and makes muffins look good!
• Do not overmix the batter; just mix enough to combine ingredients.
• Add a pinch of almond extract to bring out the flavor of the strawberries.
• Are these muffins freezer-friendly?  Generally, they are a moist muffin and best to consume within a day.  They might freeze okay in an airtight container.
• When you try to release the muffins from the silicone liners, run a knife around the edge to help prevent it from getting stuck.
• No need to grease either the silicone liners or paper liners.
• For best results, use the freshest strawberries you can find.  Look for them when they are in-season, at farmer's markets, at farm stands.
