Happy Wednesday! We have reached the middle of the week, can you believe it?!
What’s perfect to have at your 3pm slumps? Muffins of course!
Fresh strawberries have been folded through that muffins batter and it’s all topped off with a tasty quick homemade crumble with hemp seeds, that’s right, hemp seeds! You can get your protein in with your muffins and that’s how your Wednesday just got better!
I’m unsure why I haven’t published more crumble muffins because that crumble topping is just so so delicious plus very simple to make) and it just takes muffins to the next level. How do you like your muffins?!
The strawberries offer a punch of freshness and they also help keep the muffins moist, fluffy and light.
I used my go-to and favourite base muffin recipe and simply added in fresh strawberries and whipped up an crumble topping. The crumble is just made with flour, oats, coconut sugar, hemp seeds and melted coconut oil. You make the crumble before the muffin batter because you want the coconut oil in the crumble to set and harden. This helps the mixture turn into a “crumble” so it’s essential that you make the crumble first.
I hope you enjoy these yummy batch of strawberry crumble muffins because they’re also gluten free and dairy free, yay!
