Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup diced fresh strawberries
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract


Instructions

  1. Fresh strawberries are cut into uneven small chunks and scattered loosely across a surface creating a mix of sizes and shapes with visible juice starting to appear.
  2. Flour sugar milk egg and oil are combined into a thick pale batter with slight lumps and a glossy surface showing uneven blending and streaks slowly disappearing.
  3. Strawberries are gently folded into the batter creating streaks of pink and red while pieces remain unevenly distributed and partially visible on the surface.
  4. Batter is scooped into muffin cups filling them unevenly with slight overflow in some sections and visible strawberry pieces near the surface.
  5. Muffins rise and form domed tops with golden brown edges and darker spots where strawberries caramelize creating a soft but structured texture.

Notes

Pro Tips:

  • Use fresh ripe strawberries for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the texture light and tender.
  • Fill muffin cups unevenly to create a natural homemade look.
  • Let muffins cool slightly so the texture sets properly before serving.

Storage: Store strawberry muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days and keep them slightly covered to retain moisture and avoid dryness. For longer storage place them in the refrigerator and reheat gently before serving to restore softness and flavor.
