Strawberry Muffins
These strawberry muffins are made with buttermilk and common ingredients you probably already have on hand. They are full of fresh strawberries that make for a delightful breakfast treat with coffee. Or, enjoy one for a midday snack or dessert.
Strawberry Muffins Ingredients
Butter: This is one of the few recipes I will advise you to use cold butter (as opposed to room temperature butter). It gets broken down in the batter.
Buttermilk: Buttermilk helps gives the muffins a lighter and softer texture. If you don’t have buttermilk on hand, make your own!
Strawberries: I prefer using fresh strawberries for this recipe, but you could get away with using frozen.
How to Make Strawberry Muffins
These strawberry muffins are easy to make, so you can enjoy them anytime you are craving one! To make the muffins, line a muffin tin (or two) with liners. (This recipe made 14 muffins.) In a large bowl, add the cold butter, sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt. Using your hands, cover the butter with the flour mixture and start breaking down each cube until you have a crumbly mixture.
Next, in a medium bowl, combine the buttermilk and eggs. Mix these ingredients together and pour over the butter mixture. Stir until just incorporated. Then, gently fold in the strawberries. Fill each lined muffin cup about 2/3 of the way full with batter. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean, with no wet batter.
Let the muffins cool in the muffin tin(s) for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Store them in an airtight container for up to two days. To freeze the muffins, let them cool completely before placing them in the freezer for about an hour. Remove them from the freezer and store them in a freezer-safe container. Be sure to label and date the container.
