Strawberry Greek Yogurt Muffins! Bursting with strawberries and creamy greek yogurt, these easy to make muffins make a delicious low calorie breakfast or snack for just 84 calories. Quick to make and gluten free too! Gluten Free + Low Calorie
This post is coming at you not from L.A. I was supposed to have been there since Wednesday hanging with the IDEA and Blogfest crew, but that didn’t happen due to crippling tibia pain from the car accident.
I actually made it to the airport terminal thinking I was feeling “not so bad” then once I got there realized it was a bad idea to be going anywhere but home. The pain in my knee was excruciating.
It felt like the bone in my leg was about to break and I do not need a full on fracture to add to my injury cycle.
Thankfully I booked Southwest and they are super accommodating about canceling flights last minute. I headed home in rush hour traffic and the constant stop and go braking was unbearable.
I was in so much pain when I got home. I know I won’t be able to drive to the office next week. I can’t sit with it bent for long either. I have to either stand or lay to keep it from hurting.
I did have an x-ray this morning, but won’t see the orthopedic until Monday. I just pray it doesn’t require a cast. I’m hoping crutches will be enough for it to heal.
I’m certain it’s a stress fracture. The pain is exactly like all the others. I must confess I’m scared to death of how fragile my body is. Who would think you would get a stress fracture getting rear ended?
Turns out my brother fractured his ankle in a car accident a few years ago. Crazy stuff.

Now let’s chat about this creamy delicious snack. Did you know this is a recipe redeux? Yup! I’ve been going through old recipes from the early days of SF and sprucing up the recipe and photos.
It amazes me to look back at old photos to see how far I’ve come. Theses pictures were really bad. I never thought I’d be able to take a good picture if my life depended on it. Boy did I prove that wrong. To be honest, I’m surprised I stuck with it.
But now, I am even more convinced than ever that you can do anything and everything you put your mind to. First comes putting your mind to a goal then practice, practice, practice.
These muffins are not only gluten free, but also pack a big protein punch with the greek yogurt and provide you vitamin C with the strawberries.
They’re dense, creamy and sweet. For those of you watching calories, these weigh in just under 100 calories.
Warm them in the microwave and top with a little Reddi-whip or frozen yogurt and you have strawberry shortcake. They make the perfect summer snack. Hope you guys love them and remember practice, practice, practice!

What I Used For The Recipe
I can totally relate to cringing at old food pictures! Glad you’re having another great time at he conference! Definitely jealous that you’ve gotten to attend so many, I really hope to do one next year 🙂
IDEA is the conference to go to if you’re torn about which one to attend.
These look absolutely delicious. Sad that I am not comfortable with baking yet, I am only starting to cook. Baking scares me, because there are so many buttons on an oven. Maybe someday.
Also, the link to your old pictures doesn’t work for some reason, it gives me a Page Not Found error. Just saying.
Thanks for this lovely recipe and have a great day!
Baking is so easy! You mostly just set it to bake and the temperature and that’s all there is to it.
Well, yeah, I get that, but there’s a lot of different settings. Like heat up from up and down, heat up just from the top with the fan going, etc. I feel like they are there for a reason. So if you try to bake a cake with a pizza setting, it will get screwed or something? Maybe I am overthinking it too much.
Take care!
I bake with Greek Yogurt all the time, and I love the flavor it lends to baked goods! ANd with strawberries… yum.
PS I need to see you today!
Hey girl! I’m not there. 🙁 Was in a car accident last weekend and can hardly walk. I’m pretty sure my tibia has a stress fracture.
Wow . These look absolutely incredible. I try to avoid dairy at all cost, but I wonder if my body would have an easier time digesting if it was baked ? Hmm…
I am not able to do dairy at all, but for some reason greek yogurt I’m fine with. I’ve read that this is consistent of many people who are dairy sensitive. If you’re sensitive like me, it may not affect you at all as long as you’re using greek.
I don’t know why I don’t bake it yogurt more. It love the texture it gives baked goods. These look fabulous!
Yogurt with alcohol! That’s what you need to whip up next.
Hey Megan, I am soooo sorry to hear that you couldn’t make it to the conference! That’s beyond sad and so awful that you have another set back. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you that this one is going to heal surprisingly fast.
Also – I LOVE muffins with strawberries, they add such a sweet bad for you, cake taste that you wouldn’t know it was just a strawberry. I’m going to make these this weekend for sure. xx
Hey Jill, I’m pretty bummed but the good news is my left foot is finally feeling a lot better. The knee thing is scaring me though. The pain is severe. I can’t bend it at all. Anyway I hope you LOVE the muffins. They’re definitely my little loves.
I am sending you ALL the healing vibes I have. I hate pain so much, I really empathize. I think I am going to love them!! Try to enjoy the weekend. XXX
I’m so sorry you’re hurt and that you couldn’t make it out here!! That doesn’t sound fun at all! I hope it’s nothing too bad and that you feel better soon! At least you have some delicious muffins to fill you up in the meantime!
Thanks girl, have fun for me too!
Greek yogurt does so many awesome things. I love that you used fresh strawberries!! I really hope your knee gets better soon, so sorry you are hurt 🙁 Scary how fragile we are!
Thanks Sam! I know my body is definitely fragile. It’s been through a lot this past year and it desperately needs a break. Have a good weekend!
I am sooooooooooooooooooooooo sorry about your knee!!! Hoping MOnday brings the best of all possibilites news… HUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks friend, one of these days I’ll be on the mends!
i;m so sorry about your car accident. I wish i could fly over and pick you up for our own gluten free retreat. You deserve one! But will you make me these muffins for the morning? LOL! 😉
Of course I would and that would be fun! A cooking & baking extravaganza. That sounds like a fun blogger get together weekend we should plan sometime.
WOW these look so simple and delicious! I hope that your knee starts feeling better and you do not have to get a cast…Crossing fingers and toes for you!
The simple things are always the best things, right? Thanks for the well wishes lady!
OMG , these looked sooo good. I was so excited to make them and I did……and my batch was good for the garbage. They didn’t « poof » up, and the center just did not want to cook……and I’m used to baking. I have no idea what I did wrong!
I make these all the time and have not experienced this. I’m not there so it’s impossible for me to say what went wrong, but here’s some things to consider. Is your baking powder and baking soda old? Did you use a full one and a half teaspoons of baking powder? Most recipes call for 1/2 tsp so it would be very easy to miss that. Did you also add the 1/2 tsp baking soda? Both are needed. Did you over mix the batter? That does cause muffins not to rise. Does your oven generally get hot very quickly or are you at a higher elevation? If so, then the muffins would rise too quickly then deflate. Did you use frozen strawberries instead of fresh? Frozen would weigh the batter down significantly not allowing it to rise. Hope this helps!
