I have never really done a lot of baking but today I decided to give it a try. So I quickly began surfing the net and came across a recipe for strawberry muffins. They looked and sounded amazing, but were they?
After about a half hour of prep and another half for baking, I was eating the most delicious muffins I have ever tasted in my life. Seriously, they were really that good. Now I just have to control myself and stop eating so many of them.
They are good by themselves, but the strawberry butter just gives them an out-of-this world taste.
This strawberry muffins recipe consists of three parts. The muffins, the streusel, and the strawberry butter. All of that might sound a little complicated, but it’s really easy and takes little time. If you like muffins I recommend you try this immediately. Hmm, maybe I should bake more often?

Ingredients
Muffin batter
- 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, stems removed
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 cup sugar
- Paper muffin tin liners
Streusel
- 1/4 cup chopped, toasted pecans
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Strawberry butter
- 3-4 large fresh strawberries
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F or 190°C. Chop strawberries into rough pieces.
- In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Then add the strawberries and stir gently to combine.
- Crack the eggs into a different bowl. Add melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix by hand until the ingredients are well blended.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Fold gently until there are no more white flecks.
- Insert paper liners into your muffin tin. Pour the batter into the lined muffin tray.
- Top muffins with streusel.
- Bake muffins for about 25 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool.
- Then make the strawberry butter. Chop the strawberries. Add the sugar and butter to a food processor and pulse until combined. For a smoother butter, add the strawberries to the processor and pulse a few more times. If you prefer a chunkier butter, move the butter-sugar mix to a bowl and gently fold in the strawberry chunks by hand.
