Strawberry Greek Yogurt Balsamic Muffins image

These are not your typical morning muffins. Yes, you would think that these ingredients do not really go together, but they do! Balsamic vinegar highlights the flavor of strawberries. Some chefs actually say that strawberries are interchangeable with tomatoes because they share many flavor components. Prep time does not include the time for the strawberries to macerate.

These muffins were a bit too dense for my taste. I would recommend using a lighter flour, such as cake flour or pastry flour.

The balsamic vinegar flavor was a bit too strong for me. I would recommend using less vinegar or omitting it altogether.

I found these muffins to be a bit dry. I would recommend adding more moisture, such as buttermilk or applesauce.

These muffins are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the recipe.
