- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup light olive oil (or other neutral oil)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 2-1/4 cups (270 grams) flour (can sub in 1 cup whole wheat or spelt flour or 1/2 cup almond flour)

- Scoop ¼ cup batter into each muffin cup.

- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Weighing your flour is the most accurate way to measure. If you aren’t going to weigh it, make sure to spoon it into the cup, and then level it off. If you scoop the flour out with the measuring cup and then level, it could change the outcome of the final product.
To crush the freeze-dried strawberries either crush them with your hands while they are still in the bag, or roll them with a rolling pin. They shouldn't be a powder, just crumbled.
