• 1 cup granulated sugar (200 grams)
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted (113 grams or 1 stick)

• 2 large eggs (100 grams)

• 1¼ cups chopped strawberries (209 grams)
• 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar (23 grams)

Timing

Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Baking Time: 23-25 minutes
Total Time: Approximately 40 minutes

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-count muffin tin with paper liners and set it aside.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and kosher salt. Set this dry mixture aside.

Step 3: Blend the Wet Ingredients

In a larger bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and melted butter until well combined. Add the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and almond extract, and continue whisking until you achieve a smooth mixture.

Step 4: Combine Mixtures

Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined to avoid overmixing.

Step 5: Add Strawberries

Using a spatula, carefully fold in the chopped strawberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6: Fill Muffin Tin

Pour the batter into each well of the prepared muffin tin, filling them about ¾ full. Sprinkle the tops with turbinado sugar for a delightful crunch.

Step 7: Bake

Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 23-25 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Healthier Alternatives for the Recipe

For a healthier twist, consider using whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour, or substitute half the sugar with a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup. You can also try using coconut oil instead of butter for a dairy-free option.

Serving Suggestions

These Strawberry Muffins are perfect as they are, but you can also serve them with a dollop of whipped cream or a side of yogurt for breakfast. Pair them with a hot cup of coffee or fresh lemonade for an afternoon treat.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Overmixing: This can lead to dense muffins. Stir the ingredients just until combined.
• Wet Strawberries: If your strawberries are particularly juicy, pat them dry before folding them into the batter.
• Sinking Strawberries: Toss strawberries in a little flour before adding them to the batter to prevent them from sinking to the bottom.

Storing Tips for the Recipe

Store your Strawberry Muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. Alternatively, refrigerate them for up to a week or freeze them for up to 2 months. Thaw frozen muffins at room temperature or gently warm them in the oven.

Conclusion

Strawberry Muffins are a delightful addition to any meal or snack time. With their sweet, fruity flavor and moist texture, they are bound to be a hit. Whether you’re a seasoned baker or a beginner, this recipe is straightforward and rewarding. Enjoy the baking process and the delicious results!
