• 2-1/2 tsp baking powder
  
• 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions



1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Place muffin tin filled with paper muffin cup liners on a cookie sheet.
   
   
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Add yogurt, melted butter, egg and vanilla. Mix well with a wooden spoon, making sure to blend all of the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Fold in chopped strawberries and spoon batter equally between 12 muffin cups, filling each cup about three-quarters full. Place 5 strawberry strips on top of each muffin to form star shapes.
   
   
3. Place cookie sheet in oven and bake for about 25 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove cookie sheet from oven and cool for 5 minutes before removing muffins from tin. Serve with honey butter, if desired.
