Kids Can Make: Healthy Secret Strawberry Chocolate-Chip Muffins image

These muffins have a strawberry surprise baked in the center. It's also a surprise that each one has only 9 grams of sugar! For little and big kids: Let them help with lining the baking pan, measuring and scooping. Big kids can place the strawberries in the batter; little kids can sprinkle the chocolate chips.

Time 1h10m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 12

Cooking spray
2 1/4 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup 2-percent milk
2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup melted virgin or extra-virgin coconut oil
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
12 small strawberries, hulls removed and trimmed as needed

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the center of the oven, and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners, and spray the liners lightly with cooking spray.
  • Whisk together the flour, 1/3 cup of the chocolate chips, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together the milk, sugar, oil, eggs, vanilla and orange zest in a medium bowl until no sugar clumps remain. Fold the milk mixture into the flour mixture until just combined. (Don't worry if there are a few lumps.)
  • Spoon a heaping tablespoon of batter into each muffin cup liner. Stand a strawberry in each, point-side down. Evenly divide the remaining batter among the liners. Smooth the batter around and on top of each strawberry with a spoon. (It's OK if a little bit of strawberry pokes out.) Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips over the tops.
  • Bake until the muffins are golden and spring back when pressed in the center, 22 to 25 minutes. Let cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
