Calories: 225kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1½ cup fresh strawberries chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, oil, egg, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until moistened.
- Gently fold the chopped strawberries into the batter.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. If desired, sprinkle a little additional sugar on top of each muffin for a sweet, crunchy top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove them from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- If fresh strawberries aren’t in season, you can substitute with frozen strawberries; just make sure to thaw and drain them well before chopping.
- For an extra glossy finish, brush the tops with a little honey or a sprinkle of raw sugar before baking.
- Don't overmix the batter to keep your muffins light and fluffy; a few lumps are just fine.
- These muffins keep well in an airtight container at room temperature for about 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week, or you can freeze them for a longer shelf life.
- Enjoy them warm with a pat of butter or a dollop of whipped cream for a decadent treat.
