in need of a good muffin recipe

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
I have a lot of fresh strawberries and thought i'd try to make some muffins or something with them. Does anyone have a good muffin recipe (either strawberry or other fruit muffin that i could adapt) that's at least partly TF and maybe low sugar? Hard to find anything decent on epicurious.com!

I alter Joy of Cooking muffins (there are several in that book)- sub ww flour and cut it by 1/2 cup and add 1/2 cup of ground flax seeds, most have very little sugar in them and I add very little (yes I use sugar) depending on how sweet the berries are, use cream in place of milk and top them with wheat germ and more ground flax seeds, some times throw in cinnamon, nutmeg and also nuts (mostly to blueberries)

I don't have a link to a recipe as I always construct my own recipes, but I think if you found an applesauce muffin recipe that would do for adapting. Thinking pureed strawberries as well... Blueberries and the like have a skin that helps to contain their liquid, which might otherwise make muffins soggy. I am not sure if chopped strawberries would release a bunch of moisture, kwim? But then again, if they release all of their moisture during the overnight soak(if you go that route) you might just be able to stir it back in? Sounds yummy in any event, though. My son would probably flip over some strawberry muffins. Oh! And a lighter flour, spelt or barley perhaps, would probably let the strawberry flavor shine a little better than whole wheat would

I only use whole strawberries, because of the amount of juice they release. They only way to use cut would be to add them right at the end otherwise you may need to adjust you flour. You can find "jellly/jam" muffins and use that.

This is the only muffin recipe I use:

It uses all whole wheat flour, and it works great with the sprouted stuff. I use rapadura for the 1/4 cup brown sugar. You could leave out the raisins and put the strawberries in instead.
