Creating these delicious Healthy Baby-Friendly Strawberry Muffins is straightforward with the following steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper cups or lightly grease it.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, and salt.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, combine applesauce, honey or maple syrup, egg, vanilla extract, and milk. Whisk until smooth.
4. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
5. Add Strawberries: Gently fold in the chopped strawberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
7. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Cool: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven. Let them cool in the tin for about 10-15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Serve: These muffins can be served warm or at room temperature as a fantastic snack for your little ones.
