Yield: 24 muffins

Ingredients

  1. 2 cups all-purpose flour
  2. 1 ½ cups rolled oats
  3. 1 ¼ cups whole wheat flour
  4. ⅔ cup white sugar
  5. ¼ cup flax seed meal
  6. 2 tablespoons baking powder
  7. 1 teaspoon salt
  8. 1 ½ cups milk
  9. ¾ cup coconut oil, melted
  10. ½ cup applesauce
  11. 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  12. 2 cups fresh strawberries, chopped, or more to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 24 muffin cups or line with paper liners.
  2. Mix all-purpose flour, oats, whole wheat flour, sugar, flax seed meal, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Stir in milk, coconut oil, applesauce, and eggs. Fold in strawberries.
  3. Fill the prepared muffin tins evenly with batter, about 3/4 full.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
  5. Sometimes I vary the oil and applesauce a bit – as long as the oil and applesauce equals 1 1/4 cups total, it’s turned out fine. You can also sprinkle some raw sugar over the top before baking to make these more of a dessert.
  6. I usually heat the coconut oil a bit to make it a liquid for measuring, which also helps it mix in well. If you add cold milk to coconut oil, it will clump up.
  7. You can mash a few of the strawberries to add more color and strawberry flavor, if desired.

I loved these muffins! I added some Ceylon cinnamon to the batter, and substituted more applesauce for the oil. Great recipe! Next time I might throw in some pecans.
