Florida Strawberry Whole Wheat Muffins

Ingredients

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Prepare muffin pan or tin by lightly greasing each muffin spot in the pan, or by adding paper muffin baking cups to each spot. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder and oats. Lightly stir to combine. In a separate medium-sized bowl, combine the olive oil, honey, eggs, yogurt and vanilla. Mix wet ingredients well. Add the wet ingredients to the large bowl of dry ingredients and stir without overmixing. Fold the freshly cut Florida strawberries into the batter mixture. Evenly divide the strawberry batter into the 12 sections of the muffin tin or baking cups. Sprinkle the tops of each muffin with the reserved oats and a pinch of natural Florida sugar to taste. Carefully place the filled muffin tin in the preheated oven and cook for around 20 minutes. To check for doneness, use the toothpick method by inserting a toothpick into the center of one of the middle muffins. If the toothpick comes out clean, the muffins are done. Remove the cooked muffins from the oven and let cool before serving warm with Florida strawberry jam or unsalted butter.
