Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 0.5 cups whole milk
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups fresh strawberries, diced
- 1 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for strawberries)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
In a small bowl, toss the diced strawberries with 1 tablespoon of flour to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the muffins. Gently fold the floured strawberries into the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each 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.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
