Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 cups buttermilk
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups fresh Florida strawberries, diced
- 2 tablespoons coarse sugar (for topping, optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners, or lightly grease the cups with nonstick spray.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 4
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, gently folding them together with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.
Step 5
Gently fold in the diced fresh Florida strawberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 6
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. If desired, sprinkle a pinch of coarse sugar on top of each muffin for added crunch and sweetness.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Florida Strawberry Muffins with a cup of coffee or tea!
