Make moist and fluffy muffins using fresh strawberries. This recipe includes an optional streusel topping for extra texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
  • For Streusel: 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • For Streusel: 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • For Streusel: 1 tablespoon cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  5. Gently fold in the chopped fresh strawberries.
  6. Prepare the streusel (if using): In a small bowl, combine the streusel flour and brown sugar. Cut in the cold butter using your fingers or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  7. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the batter in each cup.
  9. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For the best texture, gently fold the strawberries into the batter last.
  • If you prefer a cream cheese filling, place a small spoonful of softened cream cheese in the center of the batter before baking.
  • You can substitute half of the fresh strawberries with mashed ripe banana for a strawberry banana variation.
