Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup buttermilk (or milk with 1 tablespoon vinegar added)
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for coating strawberries)
- Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it with non-stick spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well mixed.
- In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Ensure the butter is warm but not hot.
- Add the buttermilk to the wet ingredients and mix until combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together with a spatula, being careful not to overmix.
- Hull and chop the strawberries into small pieces.
- Toss the chopped strawberries with 1 tablespoon of flour to prevent them from sinking in the batter.
- Gently fold the floured strawberries into the muffin batter.
- Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full with the batter.
- Optionally, sprinkle a little extra sugar on top of each muffin.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is not too hot when mixing with the egg to avoid cooking it.
- For a tangy flavor, let the milk and vinegar mixture sit for about 5 minutes before adding it to the wet ingredients.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
