kcalIngredients
1 1/2 cups sliced strawberries
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
1/2 cup whole-wheat flour (spooned and leveled)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup low-fat buttermilk
1/4 cup light olive oil or vegetable oil
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Directions
- Prepare the Strawberries:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners. Toss the sliced strawberries with 1 tablespoon of sugar and set aside.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, 1/3 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- Combine the Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, oil, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Make the Batter:
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Fold in the sugared strawberries.
- Bake the Muffins:
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve:
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
