Sweet and Tangy Strawberry Yogurt Muffins

If this is your first try at making strawberry yogurt muffins, don't be put off by the challenge of mixing two diametrically opposed flavors--sweet and tangy.

When you think about it, you have to ask yourselves...does this flavor combo really work? Well, read and bake on, because, "YES!" it makes perfect sense.

One little tip that I want to pass on to you at the get-go, is that you don't have to limit yourselves to plain yogurt in this recipe. You can actually use strawberry flavored yogurt if you want to. It adds a bit of a "Wow!" factor.

Before we get to the recipe, I want to thank Dara from CookinCanuck for giving me permission to use her amazing photo.
