Description
These Strawberry Muffins are tender, fluffy, and delicious — the perfect summer treat! They are golden-brown and crisp outside while moist and cake-like inside and bursting with fresh strawberries. Make these quick and easy one bowl muffins in just 30 minutes using basic pantry staples.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened at room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- ¾ cup plain yogurt, full fat
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups fresh strawberries, chopped into small pieces
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 F. Line a 12-tin muffin pan with cupcake liners.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Use a hand mixer (or stand mixer) to cream together the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl, until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in egg, then add yogurt and vanilla and beat until combined. The batter will be lumpy.
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and beat until just combined, and no dry flour particles are visible. Fold in the strawberries (reserve ¼ cup of them for the top of the muffins).
- Use a medium to large cookie scoop and divide batter evenly into the liners, filling them all the way to the top. Press remaining chopped strawberries on top.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to continue cooling.
Notes
How to store: Once cooled to room temperature, store freshly baked strawberry muffins in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature or up to 1 week in the refrigerator.
