Ingredients

  • 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.
