I love strawberry season and all of the strawberry baked goods that can come with it. However, being a dietitian, I often try to find healthier versions of baked goods for my family.

I decided to try these Healthy Strawberry muffins from irealfood.com and they did not disappoint. They were super moist and flavorful, even my kids loved them.

All of the main ingredients in this muffin provide some nutritional benefit.

Utilizing Greek yogurt adds extra protein to these muffins, avocado oil provides a healthier fat alternative to canola oil or butter, the oats and whole wheat flour provide fiber, and the maple syrup is a more natural sweetener than processed sugar.

All of these healthier ingredients come together to create a delicious muffin that nobody will know is secretly healthy.

Each muffin contains approximately 200cal, 30g carb, 6g protein, and 3g fiber.

Sprinkling a little sugar on the top helps to create a nice golden crust.

These muffins come out so moist, and are delicious topped with a little butter or even peanut butter for a natural peanut butter and jelly muffin. Pair them with Greek yogurt or cottage cheese for a balanced breakfast or snack.
