Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups buttermilk
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups fresh strawberries (diced small)
• 1 teaspoons all-purpose flour (for coating strawberries)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin pan or line it with mini muffin liners.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and fold gently just until combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.

Step 5

Toss the diced strawberries with 1 teaspoon of flour to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the muffins.

Step 6

Gently fold the floured strawberries into the muffin batter, being careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the muffin pan 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. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
