Healthy Strawberry Muffins

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray.

Step 2

Add the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to a medium bowl. Stir together.

Step 3

Add the milk, maple syrup, oil, eggs, vanilla extract, strawberries, and lemon zest, if using. Stir together gently to just combine.

Step 4

Evenly divide the batter among the muffin tin using about ¼ cup per cup.

Step 5

Bake 16-18 minutes or until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 6

Remove from oven, let cool for a minute or two in the pan, and transfer muffins to cool fully on a wire rack. (Use a paring knife around the edges if needed to help you remove them from the pan.) Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.
