For best results, store any leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature.

TIP: Dice strawberries into small pieces for best results. (I recommend making the pieces small – just as you would dice tomatoes to make salsa.)

🔄 Variations

  • Use other fresh berries such as blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries instead of strawberries.
  • Add a teaspoon of cinnamon to the crumb topping for an extra layer of flavor.
  • Substitute coarse sugar for the crumb topping for a crunchy sweet topping.
  • Substitute almond extract for the vanilla extract for a nutty flavor.
  • Add 1 cup of white chocolate chips to the batter for a sweet and creamy treat.
  • Make them mini strawberry muffins! Spray a mini muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray and/or line with mini cupcake liners. Fill liners with batter and bake at 350º for 12-15 minutes.

🤷🏻‍♀️ Frequently Asked Questions

What is the secret to making moist muffins?

The secret to making moist muffins is to not overmix the batter. Overmixing can cause the gluten in the flour to become tough, resulting in dry and dense muffins. Also, make sure you use fresh ingredients and don’t overbake them.

Can I freeze strawberry muffins?

Yes, you can freeze strawberry muffins for up to 3 months. To freeze, let the muffins cool completely and then place them in an airtight container or freezer bag. When ready to eat, thaw overnight on the counter.

What ingredient helps muffins to rise?

Baking powder is the main ingredient that helps muffins to rise. Baking powder is a combination of baking soda, cream of tartar, and a moisture absorber. When mixed with liquid ingredients, it releases carbon dioxide gas which causes the batter to expand and rise.
