Strawberry muffins/bread

[fireun]

today's kitchen experiment? success!

Strawberry muffins

2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
2 eggs
1 cup yogurt (Stonyfield Farm whole milk vanilla works wonders. and is delicious)
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup chopped strawberries (fresh or frozen)

Preheat oven to 375(F)

Mix dry ingredients in one bowl
Mix wet ingredients, apart from strawberries, in another bowl
toss strawberries into flour mixture
Add wet mixture into flour/strawberry mixture and stir

Now, you can either make 12 muffins or you can grease a loaf pan and make a loaf of delicious bread.
 
Muffins should take 20-25 minutes to bake.
Bread took about 35 minutes.

Top should be golden brown and firm. do test with a knife/toothpick/chopstick to make sure bread is cooked all the way through if you go that road. the top will look like it is done about 10 minutes before the bread is cooked through.

bread has a delicious 'crust' on top. it is a light treat. not sweet. if you prefer sweet, you could probably use frosting of some sort on the cupcakes/bread. or use more berries and a little more sugar. i wouldnt add more than 1/8 cup more sugar.

Eat it as soon as it comes out of the oven. the berries taste amazing all warm and gooey in the bread.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. i wonder if it would work with less sugar? considering we're on a pretty much no-sugar diet.

also, have you had any experience with making spinach tortillas? i attempted some last night with a recipe that LOOKED okay, but utterly failed at it. it may be because i was working with whole-grain flours instead of white flour. or maybe i just didn't cook it properly... whichever, i give a definite thumbs down to that recipe, and am really open to suggestions.

could probably work with less sugar. can you do honey or anything like that?
let me see if i can find you a good spinach tortilla recipe.
