These strawberry chocolate chip muffins have been my recent favorite way to enjoy the strawberry chocolate combo. Every-time that I bake them, they disappear quickly.
Speaking of baking, I am a HUGE fan of baking with olive oil. I use olive oil instead of butter in many of my recipes. From paleo almond brownies, to sugar cookies, to pumpkin cake, I prefer using olive oil and the results are just delicious.
The same is true for these chocolate strawberry muffins… olive oil works great and results in a healthier fluffy lighter textured muffin.
Ingredients needed to make these dairy-free strawberry muffins:
- all purpose flour
- salt
- baking powder
- olive oil
- brown sugar ( or coconut sugar)
- eggs
- vanilla extract
- almond milk ( or any non- dairy milk of your choice)
- chopped fresh strawberries
- semi-sweet chocolate chips (they can be dairy-free or any type of chocolate that you choose)
Tips and tricks:
Olive oil- to make muffins with olive oil, you have to make sure you are using a good quality olive oil. It can be light in taste or color or deep in taste or color. It all depends on what you like.
Batter- the batter here will be thick and sticky. This is normal and it actually helps make the muffins maintain their shape. Make sure not to overmix it!
Strawberries- use fresh strawberries! When you chop them, you want them to be larger pieces. They should be about 1/2 inch in size.
Baking- keep an eye on your muffins. I would check them around the 20 minute mark. If they are already starting to look harder and golden, test them with a tooth pick to see if the tooth pick comes out dry.
