  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • cup (80ml) vegetable oil
  • cups (100g) sugar
  • ¾ cup (180ml) milk

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (160g) diced strawberries

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F / fan assisted 170 degrees C / 190 degrees C / gas 5.
  • Place a paper muffin liner inside each cup of a muffin tray.
  • In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and salt.
  • In a separate bowl whisk together the oil, milk, eggs, vanilla and sugar until well combined.
  • Add the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until just combined, then gently fold in the strawberries so they don't break.
  • Divide the muffin batter into the muffin cups, top with vanilla sugar then bake for 17- 22 minutes or until a skewer inserted into a muffin comes out clean.
  • Allow the strawberry muffins to cool slightly in the baking tin before transferring them a rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Cut the strawberries into smallish cubes so that you don't end up with large lumps of soggy strawberries or muffins.
  • If you are worried about strawberries sinking, then mix them with 1-2 teaspoons of flour to stop them from sinking.
  • For even more citrus flavoring in your muffins, add 1-2 tablespoons of orange juice.
  • Make sure not to over-mix the muffin batter after adding in your flour or else you will end up with really dense muffins.
  • You can use melted butter instead of olive oil for a richer flavor.
  • Fill the muffin cases only about three-quarters full as the muffins will rise during baking.
  • Storage - keep in an airtight container for 2-3 days.
  • There are 8 WW Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving.
