A few months ago, my family and I went strawberry picking and ended up coming home with about 15 pounds of fresh strawberries. I didn’t really plan any thing special out to use them up, so after making a few smoothies, strawberry banana bread, and strawberry coffee cake…..I ended up putting the rest into the freezer.
This past week I decided to clean out my refrigerator and freezer and came across my forgotten strawberries. Not wanting to toss them, I decided to make the kiddos a snack and use them up in mini muffin form. Not only did these come together quickly, but I was able to use one of my bags (sandwich size).
I had a few in the morning with my coffee, while my kids enjoyed these for their afternoon snack!
These were moist, just the right amount of sweetness, and the perfect treat to enjoy morning, afternoon, or evening!!
Enjoy!
