Method
Preheat the oven to 180°C / 160°C fan / Gas Mark 4 and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper cases. Combine all dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Blitz together all the wet ingredients in a blender until smooth.
Create a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredient mixture. Mix together lightly with a fork to keep in as much air as possible. Chop the additional 20 strawberries and then lightly stir through the mixture.
Place a spoonful of mixture into the bottom of each case, then place one of the 12 whole strawberries, point end up, into each case, then cover with more mixture so that the strawberry is covered. Finally, sprinkle with a little desiccated coconut.
Bake for approx. 30 minutes until golden and the base of the muffin sounds hollow when tapped.
These aren't just any strawberry muffins... The beauty is finding a surprise strawberry heart in the centre of each one. These baby muffins are filled with love!
Ideal for baby led weaning, strawberries are a nutritious but tasty snack made even better in muffin form! Try serving the strawberry muffins for baby with a dollop of yoghurt.
For a sweeter treat for toddlers, you can slightly adjust the standard baby muffin recipe using lighter-weight white flour and replacing the oats with more flour.
