Rainy Day Baking: Strawberry Greek Yogurt Muffins!

I totally get the need for gloomy days in April; you know, "April showers bring May flowers" and all that jazz, but it's hard to perk up when the skies are gray! Rainy days are ALWAYS good for baking! I just happened to have bought strawberries on sale this week, so muffins it was!  And of course, I found this recipe on Pinterest.....enjoy!

Strawberry Greek Yogurt Muffins (adapted from www.cooksjoy.com) 

2 cups flour (or 1 1/2 cups flour and 1/2 cup whole wheat flour)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup milk
one egg
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
1 1/2 cups chopped strawberries, plus a few pieces for sprinkling on top

Combine flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a bowl with a whisk.  In another bowl, combine milk, egg, oil and Greek yogurt. Mix till smooth.  Add to the dry ingredients and mix gently to combine. Fold in strawberries.  Pour into greased muffin tins (or lined with cupcake papers) and place additional strawberry pieces on top, if needed.  Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until tops are golden.  I have dark, non-stick muffin tins, so I baked mine at 375 degrees for just 20 minutes. 

They are wonderful when warmed up!
