Hello lovelies,
Muffins are great, aren’t they? There’s something about having a muffin with a nice cuppa tea no matter the weather that brings me such happiness.
I found my true love for making muffins last year after learning how to make the vegan muffins I always rave on about and honestly, I’ve been inspired to keep creating ever since.
Seen as spring is here and summer is just round the corner, I wanted to share a muffin which resembled those two seasons. Light, fluffy and fruity – that was my goal, which I defiantly think I achieved with these little beauties.
One fruit which always reminds me of this time of year is strawberries, as they are coming into season and are ripe and tasty. Anyway, I just had a overwhelming feeling that they’d make the perfect filler ingredient for these muffins and I was SO right. I just love how the strawberries in todays bake work so beautifully with each of the ingredients in these muffins.
Don’t these have your mouth watering? I know they do me. These are so blooming delicious – perfect for this time of year. So, if you’d like to get baking these yourself, keep on reading…
