Strawberry-Lemonade Muffins

RECIPE BY: qotw13

I couldn't sleep tonight, so I decided to get up and do a little experimenting in the kitchen. I've been wanting to make muffins, and have yogurt that needs used before it expires, so this is what I came up with. I used frozen strawberries that I partially thawed before chopping. I also didn't measure them, but just used up what I had left in the freezer, and guessed at it being about a cup. The first pan just came out of the oven, and they smell (and taste!) delicious, but when I took a bit of one, I found that the insides were slightly gooey, especially around the pieces of strawberry. I'm thinking they will be better once they've sat overnight, but if anyone makes these and has any ideas on how to remedy this, please let me know. I have a feeling that they may also benefit from an added tablespoon of butter, and more lemon flavor. It's a work in progress, what can I say?
