Bake these bites to enjoy for snacks or breakfast or bake and freeze for lunchboxes!
Sweet Strawberry Muffins!
- The basic strawberry muffin recipe is so quick and easy, you can make a batch or two first thing in the morning and have fresh muffins to start the day!
- Stick with summer strawberries or switch it up using seasonal fruits throughout the year!
- Make mini muffins as an afterschool snack. Better yet, pop one or two into a lunchbox or briefcase for a sweet surprise. Bake in batches and enjoy all week!
- Strawberry muffins are so versatile! Serve them as a tasty breakfast with honey butter, or as a dessert like a strawberry shortcake with a dollop of whipped cream!
Ingredients & Variations
Batter – The best muffins start with the best ingredients! Choose large eggs, whole-fat dairy, and real butter! Greek yogurt can be used instead of sour cream or swap out the cinnamon for cinnamon sugar, or a multi-purpose apple spice blend.
Strawberries – Frozen strawberries can be used once they are thawed, but fresh berries are always best. A combination of strawberries and rhubarb can be used in this recipe or try raspberries or blackberries.
Toppings – Not required, but these toppings make strawberry muffins a little more ‘extra’! Sprinkle on some oatmeal with chocolate chips before baking or serve with whipped strawberry butter.
How to Make Strawberry Muffins
- Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl & wet ingredients in another bowl.
- Gently toss strawberries in the flour mixture & make a well in the center.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the center of the dry ingredients & mix until just moistened.
- Divide the batter into the prepared muffin tin & bake (per the recipe below).
- Remove & cool on a wire rack.
Best Way to Store Muffins
Keep strawberry muffins in a covered container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Freeze cooled muffins by either wrapping each one separately in plastic wrap (for grab-and-go goodness!) or in a large zippered bag for up to 8 weeks.

These are so good! I have made 4 batches now to give to friends and family as I have a huge flat full of strawberries to get through. only 2 adjustments I have made. I use melted butter instead of oil. I don’t have oil on hand. Also, I sprinkled sugar on top before baking. I also made the Whipped strawberry butter as you suggested in your post above recipe. Definitely suggest making that with these.
Kristen, wow, four batches—that’s amazing! Using melted butter and a sugar sprinkle sounds like a delicious touch. So glad you also made the whipped strawberry butter—it really takes it to the next level!
delicious will be making another batch. your recipes are always so easy to make.
I had strawberries that needed to be used and this recipe was the perfect way to use them. The muffins turned out so moist and delicious with the perfect sugary top on them. Everyone in my house raved about them! SWP Employee
