It’s strawberry season, and our fridge is constantly overflowing with fresh strawberries. I got tired of having a simple bowl of sliced strawberries and started thinking about making  a perfect strawberry recipe. Being in the season of lent i strictly wanted to stick to veg recipes. I finally settled on this recipe - Strawberry Chocochip muffins. I tried this recipe with chopped strawberry first time but that did not turn out as i expected. But atlast i settled in pureed strawberries and the Muffins were perfect. It gives the muffins an intense strawberry flavor and keeps them very moist. The aroma of strawberry muffins baking in your kitchen is not one you wont want to miss, its incredible! Yogurt is another ingredient which helps in keeping these muffins super moist, and strawberries make them fruity and super flavorful. These muffins are full of fresh fruit flavor with a hint of cinnamon. These Strawberry Choco Chip Muffins are the perfect on-the-go snack. They are great any time of day. Here goes the Recipe...

10. Preheat the microwave upto 180 deg C. Start baking the muffins at 180 deg C. My muffins were ready in 5 minutes. Bake until the tooth pick inserted in the center of the muffin comes out clean. Remove the muffin tray from the oven and allow it to cool completely.
