Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 large Egg
• 0.75 cups Milk
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 1 teaspoon Almond extract
• 1.25 cups Fresh strawberries, diced
• 0.5 cups Sliced almonds
• 2 tablespoons Raw sugar (for topping, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk the egg, milk, melted butter, and almond extract until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Fold in the diced strawberries and 1/4 cup of the sliced almonds until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 7

Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with the remaining sliced almonds and a light dusting of raw sugar, if desired, for added texture and sweetness.

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 or with only a few moist crumbs.

Step 9

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature, and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
