Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Muffin Batter

Preheat your oven to *180°C (350°F)*. Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well-blended.

Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Fold in the *chopped strawberries*.

Step 2

Make the Crumb Topping

In a small bowl, mix together flour and sugar. Cut in the *cold butter* using a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Set aside until ready to use.

Step 3

Assemble and Bake

Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

Sprinkle the *crumb topping* generously over the batter in each cup.

Bake in the preheated oven for **20-25 minutes** or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 4

Cool and Serve

Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

These soft strawberry muffins with a crunchy topping are perfect for breakfast or a sweet snack!

Servings

🎉 Serve these strawberry muffins on a brunch table to wow your guests! Pair them with a glass of chilled peach iced tea for a red berry and stone fruit combo that will have everyone reaching for more.

🧁 Feeling indulgent? Try serving the muffins warm with a dab of cream cheese frosting spread on top! The tangy cream cheese beautifully complements the sweet strawberries, making this pair a real crowd-pleaser.

🌼 Take these muffins on your next picnic or potluck—they're the perfect portable treat! Pack them in a cute picnic basket, along with a few seasonal fruit slices and a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra smile. Who could resist such a joyful spread?

Variations

🌾 Gluten-Free: Transform these muffins into a gluten-free delight by using a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour. Ensure all other ingredients, like baking powder, are certified gluten-free as well.

🌱 Vegan: Swap out the eggs for flaxseed eggs (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal + 2.5 tablespoons water per egg). Use almond milk instead of regular milk and replace butter with coconut oil or vegan margarine. These changes keep the muffin tenderly moist and delicious! 🍓

Faq

  • How can I ensure my muffins stay soft?

    Be careful not to over-mix your batter. Over-mixing can lead to dense, tough muffins. Mix until the ingredients are just combined for the softest results.

  • Can I use frozen strawberries?

    Yes, you can! Just make sure to thaw them and pat dry any excess moisture before adding to your batter to prevent the muffins from becoming soggy.

  • What's the best way to store leftover muffins?

    Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, place them in the refrigerator or freeze them for up to 3 months.

  • How can I add more flavor to these muffins?

    Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon for an extra flavor twist. You can also experiment with adding a handful of chopped nuts for added texture.

  • Can I use other fruits instead of strawberries?

    Absolutely! Feel free to replace strawberries with blueberries, raspberries, or even a mix of berries.

  • How do I make the crumble topping extra crunchy?

    For an extra crunchy topping, try using cold butter when mixing the crumble and bake until it's a golden brown. This adds a delightful crunch to every bite!
