Strawberry Muffins Recipe

[xrr rating=4.5/5]

I made this with Sweety and she was very helpful cubing the strawberries with the Vidalia Chop Wizard.

Servings : 12 muffins
Preparation Time : 20 Minutes
Cooking Time : 30 Minutes
Equipment: standard 12-cup Muffin pan (I use silicon pan)

INGREDIENTS :

1 stick of unsalted butter (1/2 cup)

2 cups flour

1  1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 cups of strawberries cubed to 1/2  inch cubes

1 cup sugar

2 large eggs

2  teaspoons  vanilla extract

1/2  cup milk (2%)

1 spoon of granulated sugar

PREPARATION:

  1. Preheat oven to 375 F with the rack in the middle.
  2. In a medium ball mix flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a mixer bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle, beat the butter and the sugar on medium speed until fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs, one at a time
  5. Add the vanilla extract
  6. Set the mixer on low speed and add the flour, and mix until combined. Add the milk, and mix until combined (do not overmix)
  7. Using a silicon/rubber spatula fold cut strawberries into the mix.
  8. Divide batter into muffin pans. Sprinkle each muffin with granulated sugar (1 table spoon should be enough).
  9. Bake for 30 minutes, rotating halfway through, until muffin are golden brown
  10. Let muffins cool for 10 minutes before extracting them from the pan.

NOTE:

After a couple of days in the container, the leftover muffins became mushy. I stuck them in the oven for 5 minutes and their top went back to its crunchy self.
