Healthy Strawberry Muffins made with olive oil. This is a great recipe to make as a nut free snack to bring to work, or a quick and easy grab and go breakfast idea.
I love strawberries. Love love love. With a capital L. The color, the flavor, the look of them. Can’t get enough. But of course, when I get strawberries, I can’t stop myself. I need to make me some strawberry roses.
I used to work at a bubble tea shop where I had to make crepes, and I would decorate them with strawberries shaped as roses, and load on the whipped cream and the chocolate syrup. Needless to say, those who were on a diet didn’t approve of these, but they ate them none the less. Something about these roses makes everything all that much more inviting.
Weirdly I wasn’t all that wild about this muffins, but everyone else LOVED them. They were gone by the early evening. And it wasn’t like I made only 6 or something, I made quite a bit (since I’m always making somewhat small muffins. I like small things :D)
I just love strawberries so I go a little carried away and bought 3 packs of them, and I don’t know what to do with all of them! I guess I’m going to be baking again soon.

Super jealous of you Sara! I need to go out and buy some more!
So yummy looking!! Seriously, these look moist and soft and I can already taste the strawberries. Simple recipe and beautiful muffins
Thanks Heather! It’s so good this time of year
Our strawberries and raspberries have finally come in in our garden. I’ve been wanting to make a few baked goods with them this week and these muffins would be perfect for breakfast with a cup of tea!
I am jealous that you have strawberries and raspberries in your garden! I agree, these would be perfect with some tea 🙂
Yum!! These look delicious! I have never tried strawberry muffins!! Only blueberry, so excited to try this!
Funny thing is, I have never made a blueberry muffin before!
I struggle so much with the healthy and nut free combination! I used to make great healthy mini-muffins with almond flour for my toddler, but his preschool is nut-free now, so I can’t send them anymore, sigh. He loves strawberries, so I’m sure he’d love to find one of these in his lunchbox!
It’s hard right!! Now that I work at a nut free school, I can’t seem to bring any of my favourite snacks.
Simple recipe, simple ingredients, but big on looks and taste! Your strawberry muffins are awesome!
Aww, that is so sweet! Thanks Saima!
They look perfect! I love how they require only a few ingredients! So uncomplicated but yet special with the addition of olive oil! Love it!
Thanks Kiki! Baking muffins with olive oil is my new favourite thing 🙂
Love how the recipe has turned out,great muffins plus who doesn’t love strawberries right!
I have yet to find someone who doesn’t like strawberries..except my dad, but he grew strawberries as a kid in his back yard, and nothing can compare to those strawberries!
What a delicious way to use strawberries. I really like that you used olive oil as the fat in the recipe. We use LOTS of olive oil. I bet these smell delicious as they’re baking and they’d make a great treat or a side with my coffee. Great recipe.
They smell SO GOOD! I also use quite a bit of olive oil in my baking/cooking nowadays 🙂
