Wet mix

  • 125 grams (4.4 ounces) butter soft

  • 245 grams (8.6 ounces) strawberry yogurt
  • 250 grams (8.8 ounces) fresh strawberries roughly chopped

Dry mix

  • 325 grams (11.4 ounces) plain flour
  • 3 ¼ teaspoons baking powder

  • Add the chopped strawberries, lemon juice and rind and gently mix together.
  • Add the flour and very gently mix until the flour has just combined with the wet mixture.
    Note: Avoid over mixing as this will make the muffins tough. It’s okay to have some lumpy bits in the batter.
  • Divide the mixture evenly between the muffin pans.

  • Remove from the oven allow to cool in the tin for 5 – 10 minutes then transfer to a wire cake rack and allow to cool.

Notes

  1. All ingredients must be at room temperature, if it's not, the batter will look thick and dry.
  2. Orange juice and rind can be used as an alternative for the lemon juice and rind. 
  3. These muffins are best stored in the fridge once cool.
  4. The muffins will last about a week in the fridge.
  5. For longer storage they can be frozen.
  6. Freshen cold muffins before eating by warming in the microwave for about 20 – 30 seconds or until hot. For frozen muffins allow them to thaw before warming.
