Moist, fluffy strawberry muffins made with fresh strawberries and topped with a buttery streusel. Easy to make in 30 minutes and perfect for breakfast, brunch, or an afternoon snack!
1 1/2 cupsstrawberrieschopped fresh strawberries, divided (you'll mash 1/2 cup of these)
Streusel Topping
1/2cupgranulated sugar
1/2cupall-purpose flour
1/4cupsalted buttercold and cut into cubes
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
Chop the strawberries and set aside. Take 1/2 cup of the chopped strawberries and mash them with a fork in a separate bowl, then add them back in with the chopped strawberries.
In a liquid measuring cup, combine the oil, milk, egg, and vanilla. Lightly beat together.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Add the strawberries and stir to coat them in the sugar and flour mixture.
Slowly pour in the milk mixture and fold the ingredients together using a spatula. Mix just until the ingredients are incorporated. Do not overmix; the batter should be lumpy.
Fill each liner 3/4 of the way full with batter.
In a small bowl, combine the sugar, flour, and cold cubed butter for the streusel. Mix with a fork until it resembles crumbles. Sprinkle over each muffin.
Bake for 20 minutes, until the muffins have risen and the tops are light golden brown. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
Notes
Don't overmix the batter! A lumpy batter makes moist, fluffy muffins.Store cooled muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.Using frozen strawberries? Thaw, drain, and pat them dry before chopping so the batter doesn't get too wet.
