Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries chopped small

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a muffin pan with paper liners or grease lightly.
  2. In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk oil, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in chopped strawberries carefully so they are evenly spread.
  6. Divide batter into muffin cups, filling each about three quarters full.
  7. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then move to a rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Toss strawberries in 1 tablespoon flour before adding to prevent sinking
  • Do not overmix batter to keep muffins soft and fluffy
  • Use fresh strawberries for best flavor and texture
  • If using frozen strawberries, thaw and drain well before adding
  • Batter will be slightly thick, this is normal
