Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats and buttermilk. Let this mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the oats to soften.
While the oats are soaking, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl.
In another bowl, beat the egg lightly. Stir in the brown sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Add the soaked oat and buttermilk mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until just incorporated.
Slowly fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, being careful not to overmix. The batter will be slightly lumpy, which is okay.
Gently fold in the diced strawberries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. If desired, sprinkle a pinch of turbinado sugar over each muffin for added crunch and sweetness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
