Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.

  2. In another bowl, whisk together the egg, honey (or maple syrup), melted coconut oil (or butter), and vanilla extract.
  3. Slowly mix the wet ingredients into the dry mixture until everything is well combined.
  4. Gently fold the roasted strawberries into the batter, being careful not to break them too much.
Baking
  1. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  2. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cooling
  1. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a vegan option, substitute the egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons water). Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days, or freeze for longer storage.
