Strawberry Muffins

| Posted on |

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (1 stick) butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries, diced
  • ¼ cup turbinado or raw sugar (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 12 cup muffin tin or line with muffin papers.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the milk and vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Gently fold in the diced strawberries.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup about ¾ full. Sprinkle the turbinado or raw sugar over the tops of the muffins, if desired.
  6. Bake in preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Allow muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
