These deliciously tangy Strawberry Yogurt Muffins are quick and easy to make, and they’re a great use of your fresh or frozen strawberries! I suggest Greek yogurt as the base ingredient for these muffins, as it adds such a wonderful flavor!

Strawberry Yogurt Muffins Recipe

What do you do when your kid decides they don’t like the strawberry Greek yogurt you had in the refrigerator for them? You make some fabulous muffins instead!

I was already a big fan of yogurt based muffins anyway, and I love using Greek yogurt for the extra ‘tang’ it gives these sweet strawberry muffins. So it was a happy combination of her poor yogurt stash with some frozen strawberries that combined into these tender, tangy and sweet muffins!

How To Make Strawberry Yogurt Muffins

Start your muffin baking out with preheating your oven to 375ºF ( 190ºC ) and line a muffin pan with paper muffin liners that have been lightly sprayed with non-stick cooking oil. *This makes it so much easier to peel the paper off! You can also lightly oil or spray the muffin pan directly with non-stick cooking or baking spray, if desired.

Make the Muffin Batter

In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberry yogurt with 2 large eggs ( preferably at room temperature ) and the melted, cooled unsalted butter. If you are using salted butter, omit or reduce the additional salt in the recipe from a 1/2 teaspoon to a 1/4 teaspoon.

Stir in the baking powder, baking soda and salt so that it is evenly distributed throughout the batter.

step 1 add salt baking powder and baking soda to yogurt mixture.

Add the sugar next and stir it into the yogurt mixture to combine.

2 add the sugar to the yogurt mixture and combine.

Use the first 1 1/2 cups portion of all-purpose flour to add to the batter next. Stir the flour in until it is just combined.

3 add the flour and mix well.

Use the remaining 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour to coat the strawberries. Place the sliced fresh or frozen strawberries into a plastic ziploc storage or sandwich bag with the second portion of flour and flip or turn the bag until the berries are well coated.

Add the flour coated strawberries to the muffin batter last, and gently fold the berries into the strawberry yogurt muffin batter.

5 add the flour coated sliced strawberries to the muffin batter.

Portion the batter into your prepared muffin pan, filling each muffin to 2/3 full. If you are using one of the larger cookie dough scoops, it is one scoop per muffin, for approximately 18 strawberry yogurt muffins.

Bake the Muffins

Bake the strawberry Greek yogurt muffins in your preheated oven at 375ºF ( 190ºC ) for 18 – 20 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out from the muffin center clean. Remove the muffins from the oven when done and allow to cool for about 5 minutes before removing from the muffin pan.

Serve your muffins warm, sliced into halves and buttered. They are also fabulous at room temperature! Enjoy!

Substitutes for Butter In Muffins

You can use your choice of cooking oils as a substitute to butter in this recipe. I suggest using coconut oil, as it is a flavorless oil. You can also MCT oil, if desired.

Use 3/4 cup of oil for every 1 cup of butter called for in a recipe. This recipe uses a half cup of butter, so use 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons of oil.

Applesauce is also a good choice to use as a butter substitute, and it lends a nice soft texture to the already tender and moist yogurt muffins!

Use half the amount of butter in applesauce for substitution. This recipe uses a 1/2 cup of butter, so use a 1/4 cup of applesauce instead.

Storing Your Fruit and Yogurt Muffins

There is no need to refrigerate these strawberry yogurt muffins, despite the dairy and fruit ingredients. I do suggest only storing them for 1 – 2 days at room temperature, although fruit based muffins can typically be stored for up to 4 days at room temperature in an air tight container.

Place the muffins into a container that has been lined with paper towels on the bottom, and arrange the muffins in a single layer. Cover that layer with another paper towel for your best day old ( or two ) muffins. This will help them keep from getting soggy!
