  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
Strawberry preserves
  • 8 ounces strawberries (fresh or frozen) 200 - 250 grams
  • ¼ cup monkfruit sweetener or more

Equipment

  • Nutribullet
  • silicon baking pan
  • ice cream scoop

  • rubber spatula
  • Whisk

Method
 

Strawberry Preserves
  1. Chop the strawberries into smaller pieces
  2. In a small saucepan add chopped strawberries and sweetener
  3. Set on high heat and cook, stirring occasionally. Let the liquid thicken
  4. Take off the heat and let it cool
Batter
  1. Grind oats to a fine flour in a food processor. I am using a Nutribullet.
  2. In a large bowl combine grinded oats and PB2
  3. Add baking soda, baking powder and a pinch of salt. Mix all ingredients together and set aside
  4. In another bowl add eggs
  5. Add sweetener, vanilla extract and mix
  6. Add yogurt, syrup and mix until smooth
  7. Add wet ingredients and stir. Do not over mix
  8. Add buttermilk, a little bit at a time. Add just enough for the batter to become easy to stir but not too wet.
  9. Divide the batter into 10 – 12 muffins. I like to use ice cream scoop
  10. With a spoon, make a well inside each muffin and add strawberry preserves or fresh strawberries
  11. Bake at 350F for 25 - 30 minutes
