Summer Strawberry Muffins are bursting, fresh summer strawberries nestled inside light and fluffy sponge. Um, yes please! These sweet strawberry muffins are a delicious breakfast food. I’ve even served them to my kids for dessert. They can easily be made dairy-free, too! Serve them with a side of yogurt or just a cup of coffee and enjoy! Recently I revamped the website and brought in an awesome new formatting for recipes. The downside is hours and hours of re-entering my work. So, I'm a little slow but this summer recipe is now up in the new format for you to enjoy! TIP: I have made these with lots of different ‘milks.’ The higher the fat content of the milk you use, the more tender your muffins will be.

Ingredients

3-¼ Cups Flour
1-¼ Cups Sugar
2 Tablespoons Baking Powder
1-¾ teaspoons Kosher Salt
2 Eggs
1 Yolk
1-¼ Cups Milk or Milk Substitute
2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
¾ Cups Olive Oil
1-½ Cups Strawberries diced
Brown Sugar for sprinkling optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400. Grease a muffin pan with baking spray, or oil and dust with flour.
Mix Flour, Sugar, Baking Powder and Kosher Salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
Mix Eggs, Yolk, Milk, Vanilla, and Olive Oil in a separate bowl until fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Whisk until combined. Do NOT try to beat out the lumps. Just fully combine the ingredients.
Fold in the strawberries.
Using an old-style ice cream scoop, take one level scoop of batter per muffin cup.
Sprinkle the tops with a little Brown Sugar if using. The brown sugar creates a little crisp crust on the muffin top. Without it the muffins have a soft top. Either way is very good!
Bake at 400 for 20-25 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the center of the center muffins should come out clean. And the tops should be golden and starting to crack.

Notes

This is the way I like to start my day! The strawberries are a tart burst of fruit inside soft and sweet fluffy cake.
