- Add the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until just combined, then gently fold in the strawberries so they don't break.

Notes
- Make sure not to over-mix the muffin batter after adding in your flour or else you will end up with really dense muffins.
- Cut the strawberries into smallish cubes so that you don't end up with large lumps of soggy strawberries or muffins.
- If you are worried about strawberries sinking, then mix them with 1-2 teaspoons of flour to stop them from sinking.
- For even more citrus flavoring in your muffins, add 1-2 tablespoons of orange juice.
- Make sure not to over-mix the muffin batter after adding in your flour or else you will end up with really dense muffins.
- You can use melted butter instead of olive oil for a richer flavor.
- Fill the muffin cases only about three-quarters full as the muffins will rise during baking.
- Storage - keep in an airtight container for 2-3 days.
- There are 8 WW Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving.
