Juicy Strawberry Honey Muffins
Sweetened primarily with honey and bursting with strawberry goodness (thanks to the addition of strawberry jam), these muffins are light and fluffy and tender and everything you want out of a great go-to muffin recipe.
Ingredients
·    Paper liners
½ cup butter melted (one stick)
½ cup honey
1/4 cup sugar
½ cup plain Greek yogurt (can sub regular yogurt, or sour cream)
½ cup buttermilk
3 tsp vanilla extract (this is a lot, so if you want to just do 2 … that’s okay)
2Â eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
2.5 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
1 cup diced strawberry pieces
½ cup strawberry jam
1Â TBSPÂ lemon zest
Instructions
1.     Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line 12 to 16 muffin cups with paper liners.
2.    In a large mixing bowl, mix together the butter, honey, sugar, yogurt, buttermilk, vanilla, and eggs. Add the flour, baking powder and salt and stir just until everything is well mixed.
3.    In a separate bowl, stir together the strawberry bits, jam, and the lemon zest. Fold this berry mixture into the muffin batter, creating a swirled effect. NOTE: I like to reserve some to drop on the tops of the muffins once they’re all in their cups, just before putting them in the oven.
4.     Bake the muffins for 25 – 30 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean.
