My finicky husband liked these! I cut the white sugar to 1/2 cup and did not pack the brown sugar. I also only had vanilla yogurt. The recipe produced enough batter that each muffin cup was filled to the top. Tip: do as the recipe says, and grease the pan...even if you line with paper cups as I did. About 1/3 of the muffin bottom stuck! LOL! Tasty muffins and so glad to use our strawberries in this healthier recipe. Thanks!

I just baked these as mini-muffins, and hope to manage to have some left to take to church fellowship hour tomorrow! I also used sour cream (more versatile than yogurt and it's hard to find flavored yogurts that don't have tons of chemicals in them). I baked them at 350 for 15 minutes and they have great browning, texture, and flavor.

I substituted sour cream for the yogurt because it's what I had, and added a handful of chopped macadamia nuts. I used half whole wheat flour but ran out and finished with white flour. I even cut the sugar to about 1/2 cup and they turned out really nice! The texture is good, very moist, and the flavour is bright and yummy. I filled the cups almost full and it made 12 muffins, which rose nicely. Thank you, they're great!
