Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, chopped
  • For Streusel Topping: 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt for the muffins.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk the melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  5. Gently fold in the chopped fresh strawberries.
  6. Prepare the streusel: In a small bowl, combine the streusel flour and brown sugar. Cut in the cold butter using your fingers or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  7. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over the top of each muffin.
  9. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra moisture, you can gently toss the chopped strawberries with 1 teaspoon of flour before folding them into the batter.
  • If you prefer cream cheese filling, place a small teaspoon of softened cream cheese in the center of the batter in each cup before adding the streusel topping.
  • This recipe works well with frozen strawberries; do not thaw them before adding them to the batter.
