Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cups Almond flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cups Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.33 cups Honey
- 0.5 cups Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat or low-fat)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cups Fresh strawberries, diced
- 1 teaspoons Lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, greek yogurt, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the diced strawberries and lemon zest until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these Mediterranean Diet Strawberry Muffins as a nutritious and flavorful treat!
