Strawberry Muffins
Description
These strawberry muffins combine three types of flour— all-purpose, whole wheat, and almond— along with baking powder, cinnamon, and salt for a balanced dry mix. Wet ingredients include almond milk, olive oil, eggs, sugar, and vanilla, whisked vigorously before combining with the dry ingredients. Fresh diced strawberries are tossed with a bit of flour to prevent sinking and folded gently into the batter.
Baked at 400°F for about 17 minutes in a greased muffin tin, the muffins develop a lightly browned surface and spring back to the touch when done. The result is a moist, tender muffin with pleasant fruity pockets and a hint of spice, suitable for breakfast or a snack.
The use of almond flour imparts a subtle nutty note and a softer texture, complementing the fresh strawberries and cinnamon.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour spooned and leveled, 2 tablespoons
- ¾ cup whole wheat flour spooned and leveled
- ½ cup almond flour spooned and leveled
- 1 tablespoon baking powder aluminum-free
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt sea salt
- 1 cup almond milk unsweetened
- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 egg large
- ½ cup cane sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1¼ cups strawberry diced
- ½ teaspoon flour to dust the strawberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flours, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- In a large bowl, vigorously whisk together the almond milk, olive oil, eggs, sugar, and vanilla.
- Dust the strawberries with the ½ teaspoon of flour and toss to lightly coat them. This will prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the muffin cups.
- Pour the dry ingredients into the bowl of wet ingredients and stir to combine. Gently fold in the strawberries. Use a ⅓ cup measuring cup to scoop the batter into the muffin cups. Bake for 17 minutes, or until the muffin tops spring back to the touch. Let cool for 10 minutes, and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
