Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup chopped strawberries
- 1 34 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
Liquids:
- 12 cup milk
- 14 cup canola oil
Dry Ingredients:
- 12 cup white sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 12 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a muffin tin by lining or greasing 8 cups.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the liquid ingredients, creating a smooth, uniform mixture.
- Combine the dry ingredients in a separate bowl, ensuring even distribution of flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Gently coat the chopped strawberries in the dry ingredient mixture, preventing them from sinking during baking.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture.
- Stir the batter delicately, mixing until just combined to maintain a tender texture.
- Carefully distribute the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
- Bake for 25 minutes, or until the muffins turn golden brown and spring back when lightly touched.
- Remove from the oven and let the muffins rest in the tin for 10 minutes.
- Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely, allowing them to set and develop full flavor.
Notes
- Gently fold strawberries into batter to prevent crushing and maintain their shape for beautiful, burst-of-flavor muffins.
- Swap regular flour with gluten-free alternatives like almond or coconut flour for those with wheat sensitivities.
- Reduce sugar content by using ripe, sweet strawberries and adding a touch of honey or stevia for natural sweetness.
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days, or freeze for up to a month for longer enjoyment.
