I made a last minute decision to make muffins. They literally came out of the oven 20 minutes ago. I was perusing some of my favorite food blogs the other day, and I came across this recipe for strawberry yogurt muffins by bakerstreet. They looked amazing, so I had to make them. I’m glad I did because they are delicious.
The only thing different about my recipe is the addition of lemon zest and lemon juice. I love the combination of strawberries and lemon. I happened to have both in my refrigerator, so I went with it.
The recipe calls for almond flour. I didn’t have any, so I made my own. All I did was take 3/4 cups of blanched almonds and pulsed them in my food processor until they resembled wet sand.
The best part about this muffin is the almond and brown sugar topping. It gave the muffin a nice crunchy topping. So yummy!
The inside of this muffin is packed with fresh strawberries. Oh my, is this muffin moist! Enjoy.
Recipe:
adapted by bakerstreet
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup almond flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
2 eggs
1/2 cup vanilla yogurt
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 tbs. lemon juice
1-1/4 cups fresh strawberries, chopped
1-2 tablespoons brown sugar for sprinkling
1/4 cup sliced almonds
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
In a small bowl, combine all-purpose flour, almond flour, sugar, baking soda, lemon zest, and nutmeg.
In another bowl, whisk the eggs, vanilla yogurt, butter, and lemon juice. Stir into the dry ingredients just until combined. Fold in strawberries.
Fill muffin cups with batter. I use an ice cream scoop. It makes the job much easier.
Top with a sprinkling of brown sugar and sliced almonds
Bake for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack.

Hi and welcome to my flour-dusted kitchen! The name's Jennie. I'm a lover of cupcakes, an avid spatula licker, and a huge fan of sprinkles. Baking is my passion, but you'll find some savory dishes scattered amongst copious amounts of frosting and chocolate. I love hearing from ya, so feel free to leave me some love. Thanks for stopping by my little piece of the interweb.
Omygosh yum! I was seriously just looking for a strawberry muffin yesterday, I was craving one of these for breakfast! Gorgeous pictures, those look fantastic!
They are very tasty and super moist. I ate two in one sitting. I just couldn’t help myself.
These look fantastic! I love that you used fresh ingredients rather than extracts!
Thanks. I prefer using fresh ingredients when ever I can. They really liven up the dish.
Yummy. I love strawberry quick breads and muffins!
Your photography is really lovely. I had tried a similar recipe for Strawberry Lemonade muffins, which was good, but I like your approach with the almonds.
They look wonderful! Bet they taste as great as they look!
They’re super yummy. My co-workers and classmate loved them.
I love muffins and these look fantastic!
these look delicious Jennie! and i love the cupcake liner lol…so cute! we totally were on the same page – i just made some strawberry meyer lemon muffins yesterday as well
This sounds incredible! I love the addition of lemon with the strawberry and that you made your own almond flour! Bravo! That’s impressive! Your muffins look delicious, 20 minutes out of the oven most of these would be gone! Yum!
Thanks, Lacy. The almond flour was a quick decision. I mean, who keeps almond flour on hand? Not me. It gave the muffins a lovely sweetness. Oh, they’re gone.
The flavor combination in this muffin makes for a delicious winner! It has been awhile since I have had any muffins, so this may be one for breakfast very soon. Your pictures are stunning. Delicious post!
Thanks, Tina. If you try the recipe, let me know what you think.
I think I will make muffins tonight. This inspired me. I am also ging to exercise. Your blog is good for me!!
Glad I inspired you. I have to exercise so I can eat all the goodies I make. I’m trying to balance things out.
I love the lemon and strawberry flavors! Such a perfect spring muffin
Thanks, Sarah. It was tasty.
Isn’t the top of the muffin just the best part?
I love that picture of it all ripped off and crispy 
Great muffins!
I always eat the top of the muffin first. It really is the best part. Thanks for the lovely comments and for visiting my site.
Those do look amazing! Good call on the addition of lemon!
Muffins are such a nice, rewarding, easy thing to make short notice – and these look particularly good, especially w/ my favorite fruit, strawberries!
