fresh strawberry muffins

Fresh strawberry muffins are a great way to use the sweet fresh strawberries that are in season right now! They are perfectly soft and moist, and the amount of strawberries in them are absolutely perfect! The muffin itself is delicious, but the fresh strawberries are like little bits of heaven in the final baked product! If you have enough strawberries I highly recommend doubling the recipe, because my family of four DEVOURED the entire batch in one sitting. Fresh strawberry muffins are truly THAT good.

We went to a strawberry patch a few weeks ago and ended up leaving with 3 GALLONS of fresh strawberries. Yeah. I didn’t see the issue until we got home and tried to fit it all in the fridge.

Then it hit me….. what the heck am i gonna do with all of these strawberries??? So, I went on Pinterest for ideas and ended up serving them with breakfast and lunch for the next few days as well as a cobbler, crepes with strawberry sauce and these AMAZING fresh strawberry muffins! Read More →

Easy Soaked Chocolate Chip Muffins

On mornings when we wake up late or are going to be very busy, I generally opt for muffins. They take 30 minutes start to finish, a lot less dishes than pancakes, and are a great grab and go meal.The last couple of weeks, when the two three year old gets hungry between meals due to a growth spurt, I would just hand him a muffin. Then I started to question if that was the healthiest decision. I mean, we all know wheat is not the healthiest of grains out there. And if were being honest, we mainly use it as a filler.

I wanted to make the muffins we ate a little healthier, since we love them so much. Most of what I found was just telling me to substitute in whole wheat flour for white, add nuts and seeds, and use a less processed sweetener. I already knew all of those to be options. What I found that was new, was to soak it.

At first, I was all like, eww…soggy muffins?…GROSS! But it turns out that all you do differently is move part of the process ahead some. Sounds easy, right? It is!
