Ingredients

Strawberry Muffins

  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon optional
  • 10 tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs room temperature
  • ¾ cup whole milk
  • ¼ cup buttermilk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups strawberries diced

Strawberry Glaze

  • 1 ¼ cups powdered sugar
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon strawberry jam
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease muffin tin(s) or line with liners. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and ground cinnamon.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the whole milk, buttermilk and vanilla extract.
  • In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, cream the butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time, beating until fully incorporated.
  • Fold in the flour mixture and milk mixture, alternating between dry and wet ingredients, in three parts.
  • Gently fold in the diced strawberries.
  • Evenly divide batter between the muffin cups and bake for 17 to 20 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out with just moist crumbs.
  • Transfer muffins to a cooling rack and allow to cool for at least 15 minutes before adding the glaze.

Strawberry Glaze

  • Combine powdered sugar, milk, strawberry jam and vanilla extract in a large bowl and whisk until smooth.
  • Spoon the glaze over the top of the muffins or carefully dip the tops of the muffins into the glaze. Let glaze set up for 5 minutes. Add another layer of the strawberry glaze for an extra sweet finish. Enjoy!

Notes

Storage Information
Allow the muffins to cool completely and the glaze to harden a bit before storing. Transfer the strawberry muffins to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to 3 days.
To freeze, wrap muffins individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, then place them in a freezer-safe container or bag. Frozen muffins can be stored for up to 3 months. To thaw, simply let them sit at room temperature for a few hours or microwave them for a few seconds.
