Recipe description

Using both strawberries AND strawberry yoghurt gives these muffins an extra berry flavour. This recipe could easily be added to your breakfast, lunch or catering menu.

Variations

  • If using a standard 12-cup muffin pan, consider dicing your strawberries into smaller pieces as this will give your muffins a better consistency. If using a larger muffin size, sliced strawberries work well.
  • Using 1 cup of wholemeal and 1 cup of plain flour can make the texture of these muffins ‘lighter’, making it more appealing for some kids.
  • Can be made ahead and frozen in individual portions.
  • Use frozen strawberries if not in season.
  • Use this recipe as a base for other berry or fruit muffins including passionfruit, mango ….  the options are endless!
