how to make Strawberry Muffins

Follow the steps below to mix and bake the muffins. Work gently so the muffins stay tender. Do not overmix the batter.

Ingredients :

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup milk
1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped

Directions :

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, mix the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the chopped strawberries.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups.
Bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

how to serve Strawberry Muffins

Serve warm or at room temperature. They taste good with butter, a spread of jam, or plain. They pair well with tea, coffee, or a glass of milk.

how to store Strawberry Muffins

Keep muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature or warm in a low oven.

tips to make Strawberry Muffins

Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor.
Chop strawberries small so they spread through the batter.
Stir the batter only until it holds together. Overmixing makes muffins tough.
Fill muffin cups about two thirds full for a good rise.
If strawberries are very wet, pat them dry to avoid a soggy batter.

variation (if any)

Add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter for a bright citrus note.
Mix in a handful of chopped nuts or white chocolate chips for extra texture.
Use frozen strawberries if fresh are not available; toss them in a little flour before folding in.
