How to make strawberry yogurt muffins:
Preheat the oven to 350F and prepare 12 muffin tins with paper liners or a light coating of vegetable oil spray.
In a large bowl, stir the flour, sugar, and baking soda together. In a separate bowl, lightly beat the yogurt, eggs, oil, cream, and vanilla together until the mixture is smooth. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until the batter is nearly smooth with only a few, small lumps remaining. Gently fold the strawberries into the batter.
Spoon the strawberry muffin batter into the prepared muffin tins and bake the muffins for 22 to 28 minutes, until they test done in the middle. Allow them to cool in the pan for five minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to continue cooling.
