Strawberry Muffins are a light, fluffy treat that combines the sweetness of fresh strawberries with a tender muffin base. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or an afternoon snack, these muffins are simple to make and bursting with fruity flavor.

Ingredients

  1. 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  2. 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  3. 2 tsp baking powder
  4. 1/2 tsp baking soda
  5. 1/4 tsp salt
  6. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  7. 1 large egg
  8. 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  9. 1 tsp vanilla extract
  10. 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries, chopped
  11. 1/4 cup sugar (for sprinkling on top, optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, egg, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in dense muffins.
  4. Fold in the Strawberries: Gently fold in the chopped strawberries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  5. Fill Muffin Tin: Divide the batter evenly between the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. Sprinkle a little sugar on top of each muffin for a slight crunch (optional).
  6. Bake: Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Cool: Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  1. If using frozen strawberries, chop them while still frozen and add them directly to the batter to prevent excess moisture.
  2. For fluffier muffins, ensure not to overmix the batter and check that your baking powder and baking soda are fresh.
  3. For a citrus twist, try adding lemon zest or a squeeze of lemon juice to the batter.
