Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup organic sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 cup plant milk
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil + 1 tbsp
  • 1/2 cup applesauce unsweetened
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice about 1/2 lemon
  • 1 cup strawberries hulled and finely chopped
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Add dry ingredients to a bowl, including flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and sea salt . Whisk thoroughly.
  • Add wet ingredients to a bowl, including applesauce, plant milk, lemon juice and vanilla. Stir until well-combined. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Stir until all ingredients are well-incorporated. DO NOT OVERMIX!
  • Add finely chopped strawberries to the bowl. Gently fold in strawberries with the rest of the batter with a fork or spatula.
  • Ladle batter into lined muffin tins. An ice cream scoop works well for this step. Top each muffin with a couple pieces of strawberry. Bake at 400F/204C for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of a muffin comes out clean. Remove from oven. Place on a cooling rack for 10 minutes. Remove muffins from tin and place on cooling rack to resume cooling.

Notes

  • Nutrition information is just an estimate. 
  • Do Not Overmix - to avoid dense or deflated muffins, mix batter only until all ingredients are well-blended, then stop mixing.
  • For Highest Dome - for the highest dome tops, only fill liners ¾ of the way full for the best dome shaped muffins. Alternatively, only fill every other muffin tin for an even higher rise.
  • Make Oil-Free - to make vegan strawberry muffins oil free, omit the oil and add another ½ cup of applesauce.
  • Make Gluten-Free - to make gluten free, use gluten-free flour.
