How to make Strawberry Oats Muffins:

1. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit or 200 degrees Celsius. Grease all 12 cups on your muffin pan or tray. Keep aside
2. Take a big mixing bowl. Add whole wheat flour, powdered rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Whisk them up and keep aside
3. In another bowl, add oil and honey (or maple syrup). Beat them up with a whisk
4. Add the eggs and beat well
5. Add the yogurt and vanilla extract. Mix well, if you’re using coconut oil and it solidifies on contact with cold ingredients then warm it up for 10-15 secs in the microwave
6. In a small bowl, toss the strawberries with the remaining 1 teaspoon flour. This helps prevent strawberries from sinking to the bottom. Keep aside
7. Now pour the wet ingredients into the flour mix. Stir with a big spoon until all ingredients are combined
8. Gently fold the strawberries and almonds into the batter. The batter will be thick
9. Divide and add the batter evenly between the 12 muffin cups. Sprinkle raw sugar and oats on the top of the muffins
10. Bake the muffins for 18 to 23 mins or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean
11. Let the muffins cool down in the tray for 5-10 mins. You can even loosen up the sides with a butter knife if needed. Then take them out and cool down for another 10-15 mins
12. Your Strawberry Oats Muffins are ready.
