METHOD
Preheat oven to 350℉. Place muffin liners in a muffin baking tray.
Slice up all the fresh strawberries into small bite size pieces.
Then mix together all the dry ingredients in a small mixing bowl and set aside.
In a medium bowl, mix together all the wet ingredients.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix well till it is all combined and comes together as a batter. Don't over-mix it.
Mix in the the apple cider vinegar and then fold in the bite size strawberry pieces. Note: Reserve a handful of strawberry pieces to add on the top later.
Use a spoon to divide the batter into your muffin cups.
Scatter the reserved strawberry pieces over the top.
Bake the muffins for 30 minutes. Once muffins are baked, insert a toothpick into one of the muffins to check for no wet batter. Cool down for 10 minutes before serving.
NOTES
Don't overmix: This can result in dense muffins. Mix the batter until the dry ingredients are just incorporated.
Fill the tins evenly: An ice cream scoop can help portion the batter for even baking.
Bake in the center: Baking on the center rack promotes an even heat distribution and a perfect rise for your vegan strawberry muffins.
Use ripe strawberries: The riper the berries, the sweeter the muffins!
Fold gently: Be gentle when folding in your strawberries to prevent the batter from turning pink.
