Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup (120ml) sour cream (or Greek yogurt as substitute)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups (about 225g) fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
  • ¼ cup (60ml) milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, combine sugar and melted butter. Mix well, then whisk in eggs one at a time until smooth.
  4. Add sour cream, vanilla extract, and milk to the wet mixture and stir until combined.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold the batter just until the flour disappears; avoid overmixing.
  6. Carefully fold in the diced strawberries, being gentle to keep them intact.
  7. Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes, checking at 18 minutes with a toothpick; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Let muffins rest in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use fresh strawberries only for best results; frozen berries add too much moisture. Avoid overmixing the batter to keep muffins tender. If tops brown too quickly, tent with foil halfway through baking. For dairy-free, substitute sour cream with coconut yogurt and milk with plant-based milk. To keep strawberries from sinking, lightly coat diced berries in flour before folding in.
