- 2 Tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 Tablespoons white sugar
Muffin Batter
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup butter softened

- Add egg, buttermilk, and vanilla, and mix until well incorporated.
- Stir dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Add strawberries and gently fold in. Be careful not to overmix or mash berries as they can start releasing moisture and make your batter watery.
- Divide muffin batter among the prepared muffin cups.

Notes
- 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.
