Last year we planted strawberry plants, but you don’t get strawberries until the year. Well it’s that time now, and my husband and kids harvested our first batch. My cute husband came in and immediately washed the strawberries. I told him you aren’t suppose to wash them, until your ready to use them. So I had to use up my strawberries. Luckily I had just found this recipe for Fresh Strawberry Muffins from A Recipe A Day. This muffins were tender and delicious. The down side is you really have to make these the day you bake them. I put some in a container for the next day and they were not so great. Because the strawberries have a lot of moisture in them and the muffins are so moist, they get gooey and gross the next day.
Fresh Strawberry Muffins
1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup milk
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups chopped strawberries
3 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Cream butter and sugar. Add egg and mix well.
Sift flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl. Add flour mixture and milk alternately to butter mixture. Add vanilla. Gently stir in strawberries.
Spoon batter into muffin pans.
Combine sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over muffins.
Bake at 400º for 20-25 minutes.
Makes one dozen muffins. (Make sure you eat them the day you bake them. They aren’t so great the next day.)
Since you already know, I like your recipes, just wanted to tell you that I made this dish last week and it was amazing! Thank you so much for the recipe, it is one we will be enjoying again and again!
Strawberry muffins are so much fun to make! I love the chunks of berry.
Yum! I've been looking around for fresh strawberry muffins lately! I have a huge basket of them to use up! These look delicious!
ooh, that looks so good! and my husband told me that strawberries are too mushy to be made into muffins.
Those look wonderful Laura. My son loves strawberries so i am going to surprise him with this recipe.
Thank you for blogging about my recipe

Thanks for the tip about not getting strawberries the first year. I planted some in "strawberry pots" this spring. I have some tiny strawberries, but not a "harvest". I don't think my family would have any trouble eating up those wonderful muffins!! Those look delicious!
I haven't tried strawberry muffins yet, they look delicious!
I have some strawberries to use up. Maybe I will make muffins, they look wonderful!
