Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups all purpose flour Spoon flour into the measuring cup and level it off.
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder Provides lift for the muffins.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Enhances flavor.
  • 2/3 cup sugar Adds sweetness.
Wet Ingredients
  • 2 large eggs Provides structure.
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter Melted and cooled slightly.
  • 3/4 cup milk Or 1/2 cup yogurt plus 1/4 cup milk.
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract Adds flavor.
Fruits
  • 1 1/2 cups diced strawberries Use ripe strawberries that smell good.
Optional Toppings
  • to taste coarse sugar For a crunchy top.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  3. Rinse and dry the strawberries, then dice them into small pieces.
Mixing Dry Ingredients
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Mixing Wet Ingredients
  1. In a separate bowl, whisk together melted butter, eggs, milk (or yogurt plus a splash of milk), and vanilla.
Combining Ingredients
  1. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until just combined; the batter should look a little lumpy.
  2. Toss the diced strawberries with a teaspoon of flour, then fold them into the batter.
Baking
  1. Scoop the batter into each muffin cup, filling them about three quarters full.
  2. Bake for about 18 to 22 minutes, until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
  3. Let them sit in the pan for 5 minutes, then move to a rack to cool.

Notes

To maintain muffin softness, avoid overmixing. Use ripe strawberries and ensure they are adequately dried after washing.
