Strawberry Muffins

I have the biggest sweet tooth ever and these are the perfect fix! I can't decide if they are muffins or cupcakes (what's really the difference anyway).

Whatever they are, they are delicious and so healthy! There is no flour or added sugar, just plain ol' oatmeal and Greek yogurt. The following recipe makes about 12, and I recommend baking in FOIL cups because they will stick to paper.

Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups oatmeal (not quick oats)
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cups unsweetened applesauce
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 1/2 cup strawberries (1 will be used in the mix and the 1/2 will be sprinkled on top)
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
- Place all the ingredients in a blender or food processor (except for the 1/2 cup of strawberries that are to be on top of the muffins/cupcakes) and blend until smooth
- Divide and pour into the foil cupcake liners and sprinkle the diced up strawberry pieces on top
- Bake for 20-25 minutes

*Can also enjoy with Greek yogurt scooped on top for "frosting"



Cheers!

  1. By oatmeal do you mean cooked oats?

  2. Yes, just not quick oats. I used rolled oats that you can find at Trader Joes. Hope you enjoy them!
