Honey Roasted Strawberry Muffin Recipe
I love muffins. They make a great stand in for breakfast or a tasty snack. When I make them I often will bake up a whole slew of them and put them in the freezer. They don’t take that long to thaw and that way I get a lot done on one baking day. The hubby loves when I make huckleberry muffins and I fell in love with a recipe I came up with for pear chocolate chip muffins. This honey roasted strawberry muffin recipe is quite yummy.

How Was the Strawberry Muffin Recipe?
The recipe makes a very moist and tasty muffin. It is not overly sweet muffin and the white wheat flour and oats give it a slightly nutty flavor that is very welcome. When you encounter one of those roasted strawberries it is a bright burst of flavor. The essence of strawberry is concentrated from its time in the oven and you really taste the fruit. This is a muffin that would be perfect with a glass of milk or a nice cup of hot tea. They freeze really well.
I love muffins with fruit so these will join my regulars like apple oatmeal muffins and cherry, chocolate and pistachio muffins. I like to always have some kind of muffin in the freezer so I can pull one out to enjoy for a snack,
