Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1.25 cups Fresh strawberries, diced
- 1 cup Heavy cream (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups with nonstick spray.
Step 2
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 3
Melt the butter in the microwave or over low heat on the stovetop. Allow it to cool slightly.
Step 4
In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
Step 5
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently mix until just combined; do not over-mix, as this will lead to dense muffins.
Step 6
Fold the diced strawberries into the batter, distributing them evenly.
Step 7
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Step 9
Remove the muffins from the tin and place them on a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
If desired, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar to soft peaks and use it as a topping once the muffins have cooled, mimicking the flavors of strawberry shortcake.
