Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin by lining each cup with paper liners or greasing them lightly with oil.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, blend Greek yogurt, canola oil, and eggs until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and gently stir until just combined.
  5. Fold in diced fresh strawberries until evenly distributed.
  6. Evenly distribute the muffin batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full, and bake for 22-24 minutes.
  7. Once baked, let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
