Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, diced
  • For the Streusel Topping:
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. Prepare the streusel: In a small bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the topping. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the 1 3/4 cups flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Prepare the wet ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, egg, milk, and vanilla extract until combined.
  5. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  6. Fold in strawberries: Gently fold in the diced fresh strawberries until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  7. Fill the muffin cups: Divide the batter evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Top with streusel: Sprinkle the prepared streusel topping evenly over the batter in each cup.
  9. Bake: Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  10. Cool: Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra moisture, you can gently toss the diced strawberries with 1 teaspoon of flour before folding them into the batter.
  • If you are planning your meals for the week, these freeze well. Consider using a meal planning approach to bake a double batch.
  • To achieve a bakery-style dome, ensure your oven is fully preheated to 400°F before placing the muffins in.
