Strawberry Greek Yogurt Oats (Printer-friendly)

Wholesome muffins packed with fresh strawberries, creamy Greek yogurt, and oats for a perfect start or snack.

# What You'll Need:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1 cup rolled oats
03 - 2/3 cup granulated sugar
04 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
05 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
06 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

→ Wet Ingredients

07 - 2 large eggs
08 - 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
09 - 1/3 cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
10 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Add-ins

11 - 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
12 - 2 tablespoons rolled oats for topping, optional

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with oil.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, rolled oats, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly distributed.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, Greek yogurt, oil, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
04 - Pour wet ingredients into the dry mixture and fold together gently using a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender crumb structure.
05 - Gently fold diced strawberries into the batter, distributing evenly throughout.
06 - Divide batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each approximately three-quarters full. Sprinkle optional oat topping on each muffin.
07 - Bake for 20 to 22 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean with no batter clinging to it.
08 - Allow muffins to rest in the tin for 5 minutes to set, then transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They stay incredibly moist for days, thanks to the Greek yogurt working its magic in the crumb.
  • No mysterious ingredients or complicated techniques—just real food you can actually pronounce.
  • Breakfast feels less rushed when something this wholesome is already waiting in a container.
02 -
  • Overmixing is the most common disaster here—stop stirring the moment you don't see dry flour, even if it looks a little rough.
  • Frozen strawberries work beautifully if fresh ones aren't in season, but do not thaw them or they'll bleed into the batter and turn everything pink.
03 -
  • Weigh your ingredients if you possibly can—flour especially, since it compresses differently every time and affects how moist these end up.
  • Use Greek yogurt that's actually plain, because flavored versions will create a confused tasting profile and nobody wants confused muffins.
