Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 0.75 cups milk
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 units large eggs
- 1 cup strawberries, diced
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1.5 cups powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs. Whisk until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; avoid overmixing.
Gently fold in the diced strawberries and blueberries to evenly distribute them in the batter.
Scoop the muffin batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the muffins are cooling, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled muffins. Let the glaze set before serving.
Serve and enjoy your festive Star Spangled Muffins!
