Muffin
- 3 cups self-rising flour
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup whole buttermilk
- 6 tablespoons salted butter melted and cooled
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups chopped fresh strawberries
Streusel
- 3 tablespoons salted butter melted
- 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
Preheat oven to 425˚F. Butter, spray or line with cupcake liners every other hole of a 12-cup muffin pan.
In a small mixing bowl, combine flour and sugar. Stir until combined.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together buttermilk, butter, eggs and vanilla extract.Add half of the dry mixture into the wet ingredients and fold 5 times. Add the remaining dry ingredients and fold just until combined. Fold in the strawberries.
In a small bowl, mix the streusel ingredients until its a crumble/paste consistency.
Working with half of the batter, fill the prepared muffin pan hole to the top. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of the streusel on the center of each muffin. Bake 9 minutes at 425℉. Keeping the oven door closed, lower the temperature to 350˚F and bake an additional 17-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Rest 15 minutes in the pan prior to transferring to a serving tray. Repeat the baking process with the remaining batter.
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.
