Make moist, fluffy strawberry muffins packed with fresh berries. This easy recipe delivers bakery-quality results perfect for a quick breakfast or 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
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, diced
  • For Streusel Topping: 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter (cubed), 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. Prepare the streusel: In a small bowl, combine the streusel flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter using your fingers or a pastry blender until coarse crumbs form. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Prepare the wet ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until combined.
  5. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture. Stir gently with a spatula just until combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  6. Gently fold in the diced fresh strawberries until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  7. Fill the muffin cups about two-thirds full with batter.
  8. Sprinkle the prepared streusel topping evenly over the top of 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.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra fluffy muffins, toss the diced strawberries lightly in one tablespoon of the measured flour before folding them into the batter. This helps prevent them from sinking.
  • If you prefer a cream cheese filling, place a small dollop (about 1 teaspoon) of softened cream cheese mixture in the center of the batter before adding the streusel topping.
  • This recipe works well with frozen strawberries if you do not have fresh ones; do not thaw them before using.
