Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until well combined.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, milk, Icelandic skyr yogurt, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and gently fold together until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix as this can affect the texture of the cupcakes.

Gently fold in the chopped fresh strawberries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Using a spoon or cookie scoop, fill each muffin cup about three-quarters full with the batter. Leave a little room at the top for rising.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean (be sure to poke away from strawberry pieces for an accurate reading).
