Tips and Substitutions
Mix your muffin batter until just combined. Over-mixing can lead to dense muffins. It's okay if there are a few lumps in the batter.
Use an ice cream scoop to help with muffin cup filling.
Swap vanilla extract for almond extract for a different and delicious flavor contrast.
Use a toothpick or cake tester to check for doneness. They're ready when it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
You can substitute the granulated sugar and brown sugar in this strawberry muffins recipe with a sugar substitute alternative. Keep in mind that this can alter the texture and taste of your muffins, so it's a good idea to test them in smaller batches.
