Combine the wet and dry ingredients until completely mixed together.
Remove the stems of the strawberries and chop into small pieces. Combine the strawberries with 1/2 tablespoon of flour and mix.
Fold the strawberry pieces into the batter.
Using a cookie scoop, scoop up the mixture into the prepared muffin tin.
Bake for 14-16 minutes or until lightly browned around the edges.
Remove and allow to cool.
if desired, top with cookie butter, maple syrup, and whipped topping.
Serve immediately if you chose to top with optional toppings.
If desired, freeze leftovers and remove to thaw the night before you want to eat one.
