Berry Smash Muffins

These are just to die for.  Pretty quick to make.  You're crazy if you don't try these muffins.

Ingredients:
1 2/3 cup strawberries (fresh)
2/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
1 1/2 cup AP flour (I always sift 3 times... or you can be lazy and not)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (I sift my dry ingredients with my flour)

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Line or grease muffin pan for 12 muffins
Slightly smash strawberries in a large bowl using a fork (or be lazy like me, throw them in the KitchenAid and use the whisk attachment)
Stir in sugar, oil,  and eggs.  
Stir in dry ingredients just until moistened.
Spoon batter in to muffin tin.   Top with streusel or cinnamon sugar mix if desired.
Bake 15-18 minutes
Cool 5 minutes.  
Makes 12.
