Tips for Strawberry Muffins
– For richer muffins, use melted butter instead of oil. For lighter muffins, stick with vegetable oil.
– Sprinkle coarse sugar on top before baking if you want a slightly crunchy, bakery style top.
– Let muffins rest in the pan for 5 minutes before removing them. This helps them firm up and prevents breaking.
What to Eat with Strawberry Muffins ??
Strawberry Muffins are soft, fruity, and perfectly sweet, making them ideal for breakfast, brunch, or an afternoon snack. I love serving them warm with a glass of Banana Milk Coffee or Orange Creamsicle Smoothie for a fun, kid-friendly treat.

My husband enjoys them lightly toasted with his morning Pumpkin Spice Milkshake.
Ingredients you need to make Strawberry Muffins :
– All purpose flour is the base of the muffins and gives them structure while keeping them soft and tender.
– Baking powder helps the muffins rise tall and fluffy with a light crumb.
– Salt balances the sweetness and enhances the strawberry flavor.
– Granulated sugar sweetens the batter and helps create a soft golden top.
– Eggs provide structure and help keep the muffins moist.

Optional :
- coarse sugar topping adds a light crunch.
How to Make Strawberry Muffins :
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with oil.
Step 2
Prepare the strawberries. Wash them, remove the green tops, and cut them into small pieces. Toss them gently with 1 tablespoon of flour. This helps keep them from sinking to the bottom of the muffins.

Step 3
Mix the dry ingredients. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir everything together until evenly mixed and mix the wet ingredients. In another bowl, beat the eggs. Then add oil, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.

Step 4
Combine wet and dry mixtures. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spoon or spatula. Do not overmix. The batter should look slightly lumpy, and that is okay.

Step 5
Fold in the strawberries. Gently add the diced strawberries and carefully mix them into the batter and fill the muffin cups. Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin liners, filling each about ¾ full. If you like, sprinkle a little coarse sugar on top.

Step 6
Bake for 18–22 minutes. The muffins are ready when the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and cool before serving.

Let the muffins sit in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
- Always use fresh, ripe strawberries for the sweetest and best flavor. Overripe strawberries may make the batter too wet.Room temperature ingredients mix better.
- After washing strawberries, dry them very well with paper towels. Extra water can make the muffins soggy.
- Cut strawberries into small, even pieces so they bake evenly and don’t sink to the bottom.
- Tossing the strawberries with a little flour helps keep them evenly spread throughout the muffins. Don’t skip this step.
