Print Recipe

These fluffy, tender strawberry muffins are made without eggs using a flax egg substitute, delivering moist, light, and flavorful muffins perfect for breakfast or snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed meal
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour (or 1:1 gluten-free blend for gluten-free option)
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar (can reduce slightly if preferred less sweet)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups (150–225 g) fresh strawberries, diced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the flax egg by combining 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed meal with 3 tablespoons water. Stir well and let sit for 5 minutes until thickened.
  2. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners or grease well.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk the flax egg, almond milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently fold with a rubber spatula until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Carefully fold in diced strawberries to distribute without crushing.
  7. Spoon batter evenly into muffin cups, filling about 3/4 full.
  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Cool muffins in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to prevent sogginess.

Notes

Let the flax egg rest for 5 minutes to thicken properly. Fold strawberries gently to avoid crushing and color bleeding. Avoid overmixing the batter to keep muffins light and fluffy. If muffins brown too quickly, tent with foil halfway through baking. Measure flour by spooning into the cup and leveling off to avoid dryness.
