Ingredients

Scale

1 cup white whole wheat flour
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil
1 cup unsweetened applesauce, mashed banana, or plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cup maple syrup or honey
1/4 cup milk of choice
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, chopped
Optional: coarse sugar or lemon zest for topping

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin.
Toss chopped strawberries with the all-purpose flour.
Whisk melted butter, applesauce, maple syrup, milk, eggs, and vanilla.
Stir in baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Fold in white whole wheat flour until just combined.
Gently fold in floured strawberries.
Divide batter evenly into muffin cups, filling 3/4 full.
Bake for 16–18 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool in pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins light and fluffy. Fresh or frozen strawberries both work well—do not thaw frozen berries.
