Ingredients
- ¼ cup canola oil
- ½ cup milk
- 1 egg
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup oatmeal
- ¾ cup whole wheat flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ cup white sugar
- ¼ cup packed brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup chopped fresh strawberries
- 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the oil, milk, egg, vanilla, and lemon juice. (Note: the lemon juice will cause the milk to curdle - this is fine).
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the remaining ingredients, except the strawberries. Mix well. Stir the strawberries into the dry ingredient mixture. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until moistened. Do not overmix.
- Fill muffin cups about 3/4 full. Sprinkle with the turbinado sugar.
- Bake 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool on a rack for 10 minutes. Remove from muffin tin and allow to cool completely.

Notes
- Turbinado sugar is also known as raw sugar. You can substitute cane sugar, demerara sugar, or just white sugar.
- To use frozen strawberries, allow the berries to thaw and then use an equal amount in your batter. You will find that the frozen berries bleed quite a bit more so your muffins will have a different look.
- Lemons purchased in the grocery store are typically coated with wax. This is food grade wax and is perfectly safe to ingest.
- You can keep the muffins for 2 to 3 days at room temperature or 3-5 days refrigerated. They can be frozen for up to 4 months.
- Swap out the strawberries for raspberries, blackberries, or blueberries. Or use a mixture of different berries if you like.
