Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) white whole wheat flour (or use all-purpose if preferred)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1/2 cup (120 g) nonfat plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) unsweetened almond milk (or low-fat dairy milk)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup (65 g) granulated sugar (or coconut sugar)
  • 2 tablespoons neutral oil (canola or light olive oil) or 2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce for even fewer calories
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (110 g) finely chopped fresh strawberries, patted dry
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon lemon zest for brightness

Method
 

  1. Prep your pan and oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly coat with cooking spray.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, white whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Whisk wet ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt, almond milk, egg, sugar, oil (or applesauce), and vanilla until smooth. Add lemon zest if using.
  4. Combine gently: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula just until a few dry streaks remain. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in strawberries: Gently fold in the chopped strawberries until evenly dispersed. If the berries are very juicy, toss them with a teaspoon of flour first to reduce bleeding.
  6. Fill the cups: Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups. They will be about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake: Place the pan in the center of the oven and bake for 13–16 minutes, or until the tops are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool: Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps keep the texture light.
  9. Serve: Enjoy plain, or add a light dusting of powdered sugar just before serving if you like a touch more sweetness.
