These soft and fluffy muffins are perfectly sweet, easy to make, and filled with fresh strawberries!
I’m thinking that we should make “Muffin Monday” a thing. Mondays are much more tolerable if we’re snacking on fluffy and sweet strawberry-studded muffins.
It’s no secret that I absolutely love muffins. They are easy to make, bake quickly, and they’re perfect for snacking. My “research” (ahem) tells me that these Strawberry Muffins are extra delicious when they are split open, toasted, and topped with salted butter and jam. Swoon.
If Strawberry Muffins aren’t your thing (or you don’t have fresh strawberries available), you can try my Lemon Blueberry Muffins, Carrot Muffins, Pumpkin Muffins, Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins, or Banana Nut Muffins.
How to make strawberry muffins
- Combine the dry ingredients: Sugar, lemon zest, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Use a whisk to mix and aerate them.
- Whisk the wet ingredients: buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet into the dry and mix until they are almost combined.
- Toss diced strawberries with flour and gently stir them into the batter.
- Scoop the batter into 12 lined muffin cups and sprinkle the tops with sugar.
- Bake!
Recipe tips
- Mix the muffin batter until it is just combined. Do not beat the batter vigorously, mixing it lightly creates a tender crumb.
- Use the ripest sweetest strawberries you can find. The amount of strawberry flavor will vary based on the strawberries you use.
- Chop the strawberries small. Since strawberries have a lot of moisture it is best to have small pieces distributed throughout each muffin rather than large pieces.
- Don’t have buttermilk? Try one of these Buttermilk Substitutes.
- Increase the strawberry flavor by serving the muffins with strawberry jam.
Serving and storage
These muffins are best the day they are made. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
I highly recommend serving these muffins warm (or toasted) with salted butter and strawberry jam.
Leftover strawberries? Make my Strawberry Biscuits or Strawberry Bread!
