Fresh Strawberry Muffins

Strawberry season has finally arrived in Wisconsin! We picked fresh berries yesterday. Although I have several strawberry recipes on this site, I wanted to try something new. I hope you like these!

Makes 18 ( 4 points + )

• 2-½ c. flour
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• ½ tsp. salt
• ⅔ c. sugar
• ¾ tsp. ground cinnamon
• 1-½ c. fresh strawberries, sliced
• 1 egg
• 1 egg white
• 1 c. low-fat buttermilk
• ⅓ c. light stick butter, melted
• 1-¼ tsp. vanilla
• 1-½ T. sugar

Combine first 5 ingredients in a large bowl. Add strawberries and stir. Make a well in the center. Combine the egg and next 4 ingredients ( through vanilla); add to flour mixture, stirring until just moist. Spoon into muffin cups coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
Remove from pans immediately to cool.
