Roasted Strawberry Muffins Recipe| Recipes From A Pantry

The thought process behind these roasted strawberry muffins went something like this. I would like some roasted strawberries. Oh wait,  how about roasting strawberries with balsamic vinegar? But first I need to make some muffins for the girls. Oh, Oh, Oh, I know, I could just add the strawberries to the muffin and make some roasted strawberry muffins. Or would they be roasted balsamic strawberry muffins?

Welcome to the sometimes uncomplicated and hunger led life of a food blogger.

And uncomplicated is sometimes very welcome. I spend a long time making so many decisions about the blog. What to post, how to photograph it, when to post it, what to name it, where best to share it etc. So if I get a muffin recipe that come together as easily as this one, then I am one happy bunny.

  4. Yum! this is what I should be having with my coffee during the summer. I love balsamic roasted strawberries, I can’t wait to try them in a muffin – and strawberries are so plentiful right now, makes sense to roast them.

  5. Roasting the strawberries sounds like a wonderful idea! They’re so good right now, but I’ve never liked what I got when I baked them into muffins – too mushy. I do think you solved that problem…

  6. This sounds and looks very sophisticated. Delicious! I have a roasted strawberry banana bread that has been languishing in the my photo editor, but I will put it off writing it up for awhile as mine looks lame in comparison!

  7. Never tried roasting strawberries but I know that strawberries go well with balsamic

  8. These muffins look wonderful, great idea to add the balsamic strawberries and the nuts. A perfect breakfast. GG

  9. What a delicious idea… I can just imagine tucking into one of these with my mid-morning coffee. I’ve tried strawberries drizzled with balsamic, but never roasted so i’ll definitely be trying that out!

  10. 5 stars
    These look gorgeous! I’ve made strawberry muffins before but never thought about the balsamic element. You’ve made me crave something sweet!

  11. I’ve heard good things about balsamic and strawberry together. I love the idea of almonds in there too. Great recipe Bintu!

  12. I love this recipe and will definitely try it but can I substitute some ingredients? Like use honey instead of maple syrup and regular flour for whole wheat and leave out the almond flakes?

  13. That sounds like a dream treat. I love the combination of strawberries and balsamic. Great pictures too. R

  14. I’m ashamed to say I only ever eat my strawberries on their own as they always taste so good at this time of year. Thanks for the recipe inspiration.
