Simple Strawberry Muffins

-Sponsored Post-

These Strawberry Muffins are good. Really good. Perfect for breakfast, mid-morning or an afternoon snack. They’re packed with strawberries and for extra flavor we used strawberry yogurt instead of boring vanilla or plain. These come together really quickly and don’t require any fancy equipment. Just a couple bowls, a whisk and a spoon.

When you make muffins, remember this: mix dry ingredients as much as you want, mix wet ingredients as much as you want but, when you put the two together only mix until they combine. If you over mix, the muffins will be heavy and flat.

We worked with Foodie and Activia to give their new Harvest Picks yogurt a try. Being the strawberry lovers that we are, we went for the strawberry yogurt and immediately thought it would be perfect added to this easy muffin recipe. If you cannot find Activia yogurt, use your favorite yogurt brand – it will be delicious!

How to Make Our Strawberry Muffins Recipe

These muffins come together quickly. You start by combining flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. In another bowl, combine strawberry yogurt with egg and melted butter. Next, combine the wet ingredients with the dry — Remember, you only want to stir them until just combined. Over-mixed muffins will be tough and dry.

Finally, add lots of fresh strawberries.

Fill muffin cups then bake in a 400 degree F oven for about 20 minutes.

Vanilla Glazed Muffins, Anyone?

Once the strawberry muffins have cooled, you can make a quick vanilla glaze to drizzle over the tops. Combine powdered sugar, vanilla extract and milk. The glaze is really forgiving, if it is too thin, add more sugar, if it is too thick, add more milk. Once you get the consistency right, drizzle over each muffin and enjoy!
