Strawberry Yogurt Muffins

So I’m pretty much a baked good addict. Any and all baked goods – crossaints, danish, rolls, plain old bread (hot out of the oven). And I especially love muffins.

I bake a lot of muffins because I can pass them off as cupcakes to my four year old. And I do a lot of experimenting with ingredients.

These muffins were born out of my fridge the other day. I had a bunch of strawberries that I needed to use up, and a pint of greek yogurt. The result – moist muffins that are reminicent of the flavors of strawberry shortcake!

Unlike most muffins, I find these to be better cooled, so you’ll have to be patient. Which I know is hard with baked goods. Serious torture. Sorry about that.
