My love affair with strawberries has been long. When they’re in season, I eat them, I bake with them and I freeze them (so I can eat and bake with them later when they’re not in season and/or gold plated.) These muffins are a tad healthier than usual because hello, wholemeal flour and there’s not so much sugar, because the strawberries and white choc chips are sweet as! Talking of strawberries and white chocolate – well that ‘s a combo made in Muffin Heaven. They’re super yum, freezer friendly and there are Thermomix and traditional instructions too. I promise you’ll be a lovin’ these muffins!
Ingredients
225g wholemeal self-raising flour
30g rolled oats
100g firmly packed brown sugar
3 eggs
200g natural yoghurt
65g melted butter
200g fresh or frozen strawberries, chopped
65g white chocolate chips
50g white chocolate, to decorate (optional)
How to – Traditional
- Preheat oven to 190C /170C fan-forced. Grease or line a 12-cup muffin tray.
- Mix the flour, oats and sugar in a large bowl and mix well with a wooden spoon.
- In a separate bowl, mix the eggs, yoghurt and sugar together and then add the melted butter.
- Mix the dry and wet ingredients together, remembering that when it comes to muffin batter, the lumpier the better!
- Add strawberries and the chocolate chips and stir through gently.
- Use an ice cream scoop to spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin cases and then bake for 15-20 minutes until golden.
- Allow to cool in tin and then transfer to a wire rack.
- To decorate, melt chocolate in microwave and then use a teaspoon to drizzle it over the muffins.
