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?
Strawberry Muffins
Ready for strawberry overload? Serve these fun strawberry muffins with a dollop of homemade strawberry butter on top!
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.

Bobby-
Had to laugh when I saw the strawberry muffins…I think winter is finally getting to us all. I live in Wisconsin, and had to make strawberry muffins 2 weeks ago just to confince myself that spring was on its way.
Your pictures are driving me crazy! 🙂 🙂
Keep them coming!

grace- its really good! Haha, I think I ate to many 🙂
toontz- Yeah haha, I wish the snow would melt and it would get warm out already :(. Im really close to WI in Upper Michigan.
Nick- Thanks for the comment. They are sooo good 🙂
This page is a killer during a diet…..I just love it. The muffins are simply delicious.
Man those muffins look so good that you’ve motivated me to give this recipe a try. Note: I’ve never baked a day in my life, but they just look too yummy to pass on. I will give you an update on how things work out.
Wish me luck,
Saku
Schubsta- thanks for the comment. You should try them!!
sakutheotaku- I’m so happy iv motivated you to bake! I wish you the best of luck. I’m glad your first time baking is going to be a recipe off my blog! Let me know how they turn out.
These muffins look amazing. I’m especially intrigued by the strawberry butter. Can you edit the post to let us know how much strawberry to put in? That detail seems to be missing. Thanks! Love your blog!
Angie – opps, haha. I must have forgot to put that in. Thanks for noticing. The strawberry butter uses 1/2 cup of chopped strawberries. I will edit the post as well. I hope you enjoy them!
i was wondering do u need to make the streusel? would there be a difference?
Dan –
¼ cup chopped toasted pecans
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ cup all purpose flour
2 tablespoons butter (melted)
I think it would taste ok with out it though.
Thank you so much for this recipe! I have been baking for a long time and haven’t made muffins before that were so delicious. My roommate is still asleep and I look forward to surprising him with them. I also love that if you want a little less sweet all that’s required is taking away the streusel. Thanks again and I can’t wait to see what’s next!
I made these and they were very good,,,,Scrumptious….I wasnt sure about the strawberries, I added 1 cup of chopped strawberries…wasnt sure if it meant that or just a cup of strawberries chopped…they came out so I guess I did it right
I have made these a number of times,and my family and friends LOVE them,the strawberry butter makes them extra special!!! I am making them again,tomorrow I am having company from England!
Am I missing something? I don’t see anything about streusel or strawberry butter until I get to the comments.
Kathleen,
No, we missed something! I updated the recipe to include the streusel and strawberry butter. Those elements appear to have been eaten by the internet. Thanks for letting me know.
