Whether you are an experienced baker or a beginner, this recipe will guide you through making the most delicious strawberry muffins effortlessly.

Ingredients

To make these tasty strawberry muffins, you will need:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¾ cup milk
• 1 ½ cups fresh strawberries, chopped
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (to coat the strawberries)

Time to Prepare

• Preparation Time: 15 minutes
• Baking Time: 20–25 minutes
• Total Time: 35–40 minutes

Step-by-Step Recipe

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
3. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently. Do not overmix; just stir until everything is combined. The batter may be slightly lumpy, and that’s okay!
5. Add the Strawberries: Toss the chopped strawberries in a tablespoon of flour to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the muffins. Gently fold them into the batter.
6. Fill the Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
7. Bake the Muffins: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

8. Cool and Enjoy: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
