Yoghurt and Strawberry Muffins

A wonderful friend of mine stopped past the other day since I have been unwell and dropped off a few punnets of strawberries along with some other fruit.

Of course, despite my friend's best efforts to ensure I am healthy, I did what all good cooks do with fruit and turned them into a delicious dessert!

These muffins are really easy to make and so delicious! You won't be able to stop at just one.
