Fresh strawberries are one of the most delicious fruits that you can use in baking. If you're looking for a way to incorporate them into your baked goods, then you need to try making fresh strawberry muffins. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to make these delightful treats:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 and 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, diced
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Grease a muffin tin or line it with muffin liners.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.
3. Add in the diced strawberries and mix gently to coat them with the dry ingredients.
4. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, beaten egg, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until everything is just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Use a cookie scoop or spoon to fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full with batter.
6. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
7. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your fresh strawberry muffins with some butter or jam on top, or simply as they are. These delicious treats will be perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dessert.
