Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries, chopped

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup plain Greek yogurt (can be frozen or fresh)

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional)

1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional, for drizzle)

Instructions
 

Preheat and Prepare Pans: Set your oven to preheat at 350°F (175°C). Grease or line your muffin ring pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

    Prepare the Strawberries: If you’re using frozen strawberries, make sure they are fully thawed and drained to remove any excess moisture. Chop them into small pieces and set aside for later incorporation into the batter.

      Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until everything is evenly mixed and there are no lumps.

        Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, Greek yogurt, eggs, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using). Stir the mixture until it's smooth and all ingredients are well blended together.

          Create the Muffin Batter: Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredient mixture, gently stirring to combine. Once combined, carefully fold in the chopped strawberries, ensuring you don't overmix the batter to maintain the fluffy texture.

            Fill the Muffin Rings: Using a ladle or a spoon, evenly distribute the batter into the muffin rings, filling each about three-quarters full to allow for rising during baking.

              Bake to Perfection: Place the muffin ring pan into your preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin ring; it should come out clean when they are ready.

                Cool and Drizzle: Once baked, remove the muffin ring pan from the oven and allow the muffin rings to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then, carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. If desired, melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave and use a spoon to drizzle over the cooled muffin rings for a sweet finishing touch.

                  Serve and Enjoy: These delicious Frozen Yogurt Strawberry Muffin Rings can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature. Perfect for a delightful breakfast treat or an afternoon snack!
