Strawberry muffins

I found this recipe online, and it didn't work for us at all, so I made a ton of substitutions and they turned out super yummy! This recipe makes 36 smaller or 24 big muffins.

3&1/8 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 TBS cinnamon 
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
3 TBS ground flax seed
3 TBS wheat germ
1 cup maple syrup or honey
1 cup mashed strawberries(I used my blender)
1/2 cup butter(melted)
4 eggs
2 cups strawberries

Preheat oven to 350 and line muffin tins.
Slice strawberries and set aside.
Mix together your dry ingredients, then add the wet ones in. Mix JUST until the ingredients are blended. Over mixing anything with whole wheat flour will make them have a yucky texture but you definitely don't want lumps of baking soda either! :)
Bake in preheated oven for 12-20 minutes depending on your oven and the size of your muffins!
If you added another 1/2 cup of sweetener, and slapped some cream cheese frosting or whip cream on the top, these would make GREAT cupcakes too! :)
