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.
