You can bake these moist and fluffy bakery-style strawberry muffins using fresh strawberries. This easy recipe is perfect for a quick breakfast or a sweet snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
  • For Streusel Topping (Optional):
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons 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 it well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt for the muffin batter.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  5. Gently fold in the diced fresh strawberries.
  6. If making the streusel topping, combine the streusel flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut in the cold butter using your fingers or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. If using, sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the batter in each cup.
  9. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. The tops should be golden brown.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy these homemade strawberry muffins!

Notes

  • For extra fluffy muffins, toss the diced strawberries lightly in 1 tablespoon of the measured flour before folding them into the batter. This helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom.
  • If you prefer a cream cheese filling variation, place a small teaspoon of softened cream cheese in the center of the batter in each cup before topping with streusel or baking.
  • These muffins freeze well. Cool them completely, then wrap them individually in plastic wrap before placing them in a freezer-safe bag for up to three months.
