Inspired by the Full Strawberry Moon, also known as the Honey Moon, I decided to whip up these yummy Strawberry Moon Muffins. Many of these ingredients have a special meaning & bring a little bit of magic into this lunar recipe! Strawberries & Honey, of course, honor June's Honey/Strawberry Moon, but they are also a reminder of the sweetness of life, connecting us to pollinators & Spirit, especially the bees! The spices cinnamon & nutmeg both connect us to abundance & prosperity, stirring a wee bit of good fortune into the mix as well. Sea salt clears away negative energy this Full Moon, while citrus calls in the light of the Sun with his uplifting energy. Not to mention, these muffins are quite scrumptious!
Heads up - you will need a cupcake tin & baking cups.
