This post has been updated on 1/07/2017. I decided to remake these no sugar strawberry muffins because Queensland strawberries are in the shops!
Strawberries are always a winner with the little Kidgredients and their sweetness means that these no sugar strawberry muffins are super sweet. With the goodness of yoghurt, they are also super fluffy as the yoghurt reacts with the self raising flour to make them really airy.
When I originally made these, I was making them for preschool 2.5 years ago! Can you believe it? They are still a favourite. If strawberries aren't your kids favourites, then sub with another fruit, the ratios remain the same!
Preschool is going back in under a week. My excitement can't be contained. But simultaneously, my fear of supplying the perfect lunch for my little kidgredients is coming out. What if they don't eat? What if they collapse in a heap due to starvation? I know, I'm kidding, but I want to make sure they have some sustenance in their lunchboxes, so I'm baking now to make the return to preschool a bit easier.
I've got a few punnets of strawberries, a bit of yoghurt and some freezer space- so here's some strawberry muffins for bake to school. Ideal to bake now, freeze and pop in the lunch bag for morning tea/ after lunch snack.
If your kids really have a really sweet tooth, you may need to add some sweetener, but we like them just the way they are, not too sweet for everyday and not a savoury muffin. We make these ones full size so they are a recess item rather than going in the lunchbox. Actually, not many of these end up going anywhere as they are perfect to have in the freezer at home and can be microwaved for a quick afternoon tea post school if everyone is starving!
Here are some of my strawberry muffin ideas that will definitely be a hit to your kids:

Hi can I use plain flour?
Kylie says
If you are using plain flour you will need to add baking powder. For each cup of plain flour you need 2 teaspoons of baking powder. Otherwise there is no rising agent.
Sonja says
By the way, I’m assuming steps 5 and 6 are listed around the wrong way?
Kylie says
Actually there was a step missing!
Sonja says
Would butter work as a sub for the coconut oil in this recipe?
Kylie says
Butter is a one:one sub for coconut oil and will work fine in these!
ClaireHG says
Should these after baking and cooled down be kept in cupboard or fridge?
Kylie says
I keep all baked goods in the fridge!
karina says
What type of yoghurt do you use? Flavored or Greek?
Kylie says
Always plain greek yoghurt. 😉 I make my own.
Bek says

Marcela says
Can i use oatmeal flour for this recipe?
Kylie says
Yes, but they may end up a bit more dense.
