Make the most of fresh and sweet spring berries with these easy strawberry muffins.
Rich and buttery with lots of chunks of juicy fruit in every bite homemade strawberry muffins can quickly become a spring tradition.
Decadent Breakfast Muffins
The combination of butter and berries in these muffins do make them feel quite indulgent. They are sweet but not overly so making them an easy breakfast on-the-go or a perfect compliment to some eggs.
Optional Additions
While there’s no need to change the original recipe, it would be easy to do so for all kinds of fun changes.
Use a mix of berries instead of just strawberries for mixed berry muffins.
Substitute half of the strawberries for some chocolate chips or chopped nuts.
Easy to Double
Because the recipe is so very easy and the ingredients fairly basic, it’s easy to double for an extra large batch.
This makes it easy to use up any berries sitting in the refrigerator before they go bad and avoid waste.
Freeze Extras
The moistness of these muffins make them ideal for freezing and longer term storage.
After the muffins have baked and cooled completely, place them into airtight containers or bags to freeze.
To eat, simply pull from the freezer and allow to thaw at room temperature. In a pinch, one could defrost in the microwave.
Eat frozen muffins up within 6 months for best flavor and to prevent freezer burn.
