How to Prepare Strawberry and Yogurt Muffins
Wash the strawberries, clean them, and cut them into small pieces. Beat an egg with the sugar for 3-4 minutes until you have a light and frothy mixture.
Add a jar of plain yogurt and the melted butter. Mix. Continue by adding the grated zest of half an untreated lemon, the sifted flour, and the baking powder.
Mix well. Also, add the strawberries and simply mix with a spatula to incorporate them into the batter.
Place the paper liners in the muffin tray. Fill each liner 2/3 full with the batter.
Bake the Soft Strawberry Muffins in the preheated static oven at 350°F for 18-20 minutes.
Always do the toothpick test to check if they’re cooked inside. Let them cool and decorate as desired with some powdered sugar.

Loredana’s Tips
The Muffins stay soft in a container for 2-3 days
If you prefer, you can replace the butter with 3 tbsp of vegetable oil and the yogurt with 1/2 cup of milk
If you don’t have a muffin tin, you can simply use silicone molds
For more indulgent treats, you can add 2 oz of chocolate chips or the same amount of dark chocolate in small pieces to the batter
