Prep Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 25 mins
Total Time: 45 mins
Servings: 12 muffins
Ingredients:
1¼ cups old-fashioned oats
1 cup plain yogurt
½ pound strawberries (about 1½ cups chopped)
2 tsp white sugar
1 tsp balsamic vinegar
2 large eggs
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
½ cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
¾ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup air-popped popcorn flour
1 tbsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp finely ground black pepper
½ tsp cinnamon
Directions:
Soak the oats: Mix the oats and yogurt in a large bowl. Let sit while you prepare the other ingredients.
Prep strawberries: Rinse, core, and chop the strawberries. Place them in a small bowl and sprinkle with white sugar and balsamic vinegar. Stir gently and set aside to macerate.
Preheat oven: Set oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin.
Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, popcorn flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, black pepper, and cinnamon.
Combine wet ingredients: Add eggs, melted butter, brown sugar, and vanilla to the oat-yogurt mixture. Stir until just combined.
Add dry to wet: Gently stir the flour mixture into the wet mixture using a wooden spoon. Mix until just moistened—don’t overmix.
Fold in strawberries: Add the chopped strawberries along with their juices. Fold gently into the batter.
Fill muffin tin: Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin cups.
Bake: Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool: Let muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
