Strawberry Muffins
Fruity and lightly sweet, Strawberry Muffins are ideal with milk, coffee, tea or hot chocolate.
Prep Time:
Cooking Time: 45 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, divided
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup frozen strawberries, chopped
- 1 cup frozen strawberries, chopped
- 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease 18 muffin cups lightly.
Sift flour, 1/3 cup sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda together into a large bowl.
Combine strawberries, buttermilk, eggs and vegetable oil in a medium bowl and mix well. Add to flour mixture and stir just until moistened.
Fill prepared muffin cups three-fourths full. Sprinkle with remaining sugar.
Bake until a toothpick inserted in centers of muffins comes out clean, about 17 minutes.
Secret Tip
To chop the strawberries, place them in a blender or food processor and pulse just once or twice. You don't want to puree the berries-biting into a bit of strawberry is part of the pleasure of eating these muffins.
