Strawberry Muffins
- ¾ cup white granulated sugar
- 1 egg whites room temperature
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- ¾ cup milk
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 cups fresh strawberries cut into cubes
- 1 Tbsp lemon zest
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a standard 12-hole muffin tray with muffin liners. Set aside.
How to Make Streusel Topping
- In the small mixing bowl, add flour, sugar, salt, and lemon zest. Mix until all is combined.
- Add melted butter and stir until the mixture is crumbly and moist. Set aside.
How to Make Strawberry Muffins
- In the large mixing bowl, combine sugar, egg, melted butter, oil, and milk. Using a whisk, mix until well combined.
- Sift in dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, and salt to the wet ingredients. Using a spatula, gently fold until just combined.
- Wash and cut fresh strawberries into cubes. Add strawberries, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the muffin batter. Using a spatula, gently fold until all is combined. Do not overmix. Overmixing will make the muffins dense instead of soft.
- Distribute the batter evenly among the muffin liners, filling about 3/4 full. Using fingers, gently break the streusel and evenly sprinkle the tops of the muffins. You can also add more cubes of strawberries with the streusel.
- Bake muffins for 18-22 minutes at 375°F (190°C) or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clear.
- Let the muffins cool in the tray for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Do not use frozen strawberries. Fresh always tastes better.
- Overmixing the batter will make the muffins dense instead of soft.
- Cut strawberries into small cubes instead of slices.
- You can make mini muffins if you like. Baking time will be shorter.
