Strawberry Lemon Muffins

These few days were so warm and I've been sweating non stop! 

Although it rained today, it's still humid and my sweat still kept dripping. 

I hope the weather will be back to normal soon! 

In this hot weather, 

I wanted to make some strawberry ice cream,

but I don't have whipping cream with me,

so switched to make these muffins...

Don't be deceived by the look of these brown muffins...

They are healthier but tasty at the same time!

Strawberry bites in every mouth you eat.

I made some alterations to the recipe,

changed milk to almond milk, 

added vanilla extract, and reduced the sugar.

The muffins are moist and very appetising!

Sour and sweet! 
Some reviewers in the website mentioned that these muffins are dense,
they suggest bakers to cut down on wholemeal flour and up the all purpose flour.
I did not, and feel that it's still soft~

I made one for Piano (My chihuahua) without sugar.

She loved it so much and asked for more, but too bad, that's the only one for her! =p

As for my man, he downed 3 after dinner! 

So I think the recipe is worth a try! Simple and yummy!
