Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries chopped
- 2 tablespoons sugar for topping
Instructions
Preheat the oven
- Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a muffin tin with paper liners to prevent sticking.
Mix dry ingredients
- In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir well to distribute evenly.
Prepare wet ingredients
- In another bowl, whisk melted butter, milk, eggs and vanilla until smooth and well combined.
Combine mixtures
- Pour wet ingredients into dry mixture. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix the batter.
Add strawberries
- Fold chopped strawberries into the batter. Mix lightly so they spread evenly without crushing.
Fill muffin cups
- Spoon batter into muffin liners. Fill about 3/4 full for proper rising during baking.
Add topping
- Sprinkle a little sugar on top of each muffin. This adds a light crunch after baking.
Bake the muffins
- Bake for 18–20 minutes until golden and a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
Cool and serve
- Let muffins cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm for best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use fresh strawberries for best flavor
- Add lemon zest for extra freshness
- Use buttermilk instead of milk for softer muffins
- Do not overfill muffin cups
- Add white chocolate chips for sweetness
- Store strawberries dry before adding
