Fresh Strawberry Muffins
Last Thursday I posted a little sneak peek of this recipe on my Facebook page, and now that the weekend is coming to a close I'm finally getting the time to write up this blog post for you all!
I had some strawberries that needed to be used up, and remembered a pin I had on a Pinterest board that I had been wanting to try. It includes some of my very favorite things - breakfast cupcakes (which some people call muffins) and fresh strawberries!
Here is the blog that the original pin came from - Original Muffin Recipe
I have tried to make muffins from scratch before, and they just weren't....right. But these were...they were so delicious, that my family has asked for them again already - and have dreamed up ideas of other things to add into the original mix.
How delicious do these look? Here's the recipe!
Fresh Strawberry Muffins
1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup milk
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups chopped strawberries
3 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Cream butter and sugar. Add egg and mix well.
Sift flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl. Add flour mixture and milk alternately to butter mixture. Add vanilla. Gently stir in strawberries.
Spoon batter into muffin pans.
Combine sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over muffins.
Bake at 400ยบ for 20-25 minutes.
Makes one dozen muffins. (Make sure you eat them the day you bake them. They aren’t as good the next day, but you can freeze them!)
Okay...just one more close up. They're THAT good!
