Make moist and fluffy bakery-style strawberry muffins packed with fresh strawberries. This easy recipe is perfect for a quick breakfast or sweet snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
  • For Streusel Topping: 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt for the muffin batter. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Pour in the melted butter and whisk until combined.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and milk until the batter is smooth.
  5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  6. Gently fold in the diced fresh strawberries.
  7. Prepare the streusel topping: In a small bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter using your fingers or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  8. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling them about two-thirds full.
  9. Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over the top of each muffin.
  10. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
  11. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For the fluffiest muffins, toss the diced strawberries lightly in 1 tablespoon of the flour mixture before folding them into the batter. This helps prevent them from sinking.
  • If you prefer a cream cheese filling, place a small dollop of softened cream cheese mixture (4 oz cream cheese mixed with 2 tablespoons sugar) in the center of the batter in each cup before topping with streusel.
  • You can substitute half of the fresh strawberries with mashed ripe banana for a Strawberry Banana Muffin variation.
