Gluten-free Strawberry Shortcake Muffins + GIVEAWAY TIME!!!!!!

 it's monday baybaaaaay!

 i spent mine up in the gym gettin' my sweat on and preparing for a busy day ahead.

Houston Sprouts Farmers Markets are having a gigantic strawberry sale this week!!!  the 16 oz crates are 88 CENTS each right now.  all i could think of was how much homemade berry-beet applesauce i was gonna make Dego. and myself. it is SO good, y'all.

thanks for passing on the sale info, mom! <3

so i still had tons of berries left after making applesauce and wanted to bake a healthy treat.  i got a little help from Dashing Dish to create this one and it's pretty tasty! low-fat, gluten-free goodness that can be a great to-go breakfast, a snack, or definitely a dessert.  just add cool whip!

Low-Fat Gluten-Free Strawberry Shortcake Muffins

the stuff:

• 2.5 cups Gluten-Free oat flour (i make my own using rolled oats in the Ninja Blender)
• 1 cup 0% or 2% greek yogurt (i used Fage)
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup Stevia for baking
• 1.5 tsp baking powder
• .5 tsp baking soda
• 1.5 cups diced strawberries
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp vanilla
• dash sea salt
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon

do this:

1. set your oven to 350 degrees and coat a 24 count mini muffin pan with no stick cooking spray very well. NO LINERS NEEDED because they will stick to the muffin. #spoileralert
2. i combined everything except the strawberries in my Ninja Blender! then i folded in 1 cup of the berries afterwards into a large mixing bowl. ***if no blender or food processor, combine wet w/ wet & dry w/ dry. mix together. fold in 1 cup of the diced berries last. 
3. spoon the mixture 3/4th of the way full into each muffin slot.
4. take the 1/2 cup of berries left and top your muffin batter with the pieces.
5. OPTIONAL: mix a little granulated stevia and cinnamon in a small bowl, then dust the tops of your muffins with the sugar mixture. nice touch!
6. bake 20-25 min or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
