    1 Heat the oven to 180°C/fan 160°C/gas 4. Line 6 holes of a muffin tin with baking paper or muffin cases.

    2 Sift the flour and cinnamon into a mixing bowl, then stir in the sugar or stevia. Whisk the melted spread, the egg and milk together in a small jug. Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture, then mix until just combined. Stir in the ⅓ cup chopped strawberries.

    3 Divide the muffin mixture evenly among the muffin holes and smooth the surfaces. Bake for 18–20 min until an inserted skewer comes out clean.

    4 Leave the muffins in the tin to cool a little, then turn out and carefully remove and discard the baking paper or paper cases. Dust with icing sugar, then serve with the halved strawberries on the side.
