Fresh Strawberry Muffins
August 25, 2008
In my never-ending quest to use up food instead of throwing it away, I had about 9 fresh strawberries to use up that were leftover from Green Salad with Fruit, Sugared Almonds and Orange Vinaigrette . So, I made fresh strawberry muffins. They would have been a tad better if I had a couple more strawberries to use but they’ll do. It was a great way to use up the berries and the muffins are very tender and delicious.
Fresh Strawberry Muffins
1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
2 cups flour
2 tsps baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup milk
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups chopped strawberries
3 tsps sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Cream butter and sugar. Add egg and mix well.
Sift flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl. Add flour mixture and milk alternately to butter mixture. Add vanilla. Gently stir in strawberries.
Spoon batter into muffin pans.
Combine sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over muffins.
Bake at 400º for 20-25 minutes.
Makes one dozen muffins.
Happy Cooking!

These were perfect. I added a little lemon zest as well.

I made the muffins. They were just like you said, very tender! I used about 10 strawberries but next time I will use a full container–16oz! I found it was best to let them cool completely in the tins before you take them out, otherwise they just fall apart. Great recipe, thanks! My kids loved them!

I have never used rose water before so I would be hesitant to say to use it.

I know it’s been ages since this was originally posted, but a friend pointed me here because I had extra strawberries. YUM! I actually found out that I had no milk 1/2 way through prepping the dry ingredients, but I had sour cream, and it worked REALLY well. They are a huge hit, and we can’t wait to make them again next time we have strawberries!

Could you do this w/ whole wheat flour?? or 1/2 white 1/2 whole wheat. I really try to get whole grains into my foods.

nancycg56 | May 25, 2009 at 11:56 am
I would try it with the 1/2 white and 1/2 wheat first and if that worked, then I’d try all wheat. Let me know how it turns out!

A dash? A splash? Is a dash for dry and splash for wet??
Thanks for the recipe by the way, my usual takes two eggs, and I only have one.

I find a dash of rosewater helps enhance the strawberry flavour.

I always have a hard time with strawberry muffins. I feel like you can never taste the strawberry strong enough
