Muffin Ingredients
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor.
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour Measuring accurately helps avoid heavy muffins.

  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
  2. In a bowl, mix the chopped strawberries with a tablespoon of flour to coat them.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir gently until just combined.
  6. Carefully fold in the floured strawberries until evenly distributed.
  7. Evenly distribute the batter into the lined muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  2. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

These muffins can be served warm, and you can top them with powdered sugar, strawberry glaze, or whipped cream for indulgence. Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor and avoid overmixing the batter.
