Early spring always means strawberry season here, but no matter when strawberries come into season where you live, this fresh and healthy strawberry muffin recipe is always a winner. Whole grains and sweet strawberries will make this muffin recipe a family favorite!
This fresh strawberry muffin recipe uses freshly ground whole wheat flour. I love to use it especially in muffins because it boosts the nutritional value of the recipe (hello, fiber!), and it couldn’t be fresher. Milling whole grains at home isn’t difficult, and if you’re interested in starting to mill at home, you can check out my Guide to Whole Grains post.

I’m assuming it’s 1 tablespoon of sugar that goes with the lemon zest. Correct?
