Strawberry Muffins

But “C’mon Steve” I hear you ask. “Why the best ever? Surely a strawberry muffin is, well, a strawberry muffin right?”… Wrong  ????. These are the best ever strawberry muffins for 2 main reasons, and they are both down to the ingredients.

These muffins are made with a good helping of butter (I never said it was a healthy recipe ????). A number of recipes do this but also a large number these days avoid butter and use various types of cooking oils. This is all well and good but we’re making muffins! It’s a traditional and proven recipe. Use butter and go for a run afterwards. Muffins made with butter are just so much better.

Secondly, and this does move away a little from tradition, I used frozen strawberries. “Frozen!!” you shout. Well, don’t switch over to Amazon quite yet. Hear me out…

Frozen strawberries, and all frozen fruit and vegetables for that matter, are frozen very quickly after picking. Some, peas for example, within one hour. What this does is lock in all of the fruit nutrients, many of which are lost, or certainly reduce, as fresh produce is shipped to the store, or sits in your larder.

Don’t get me wrong, fresh produce is absolutely fine and great if you use it relatively quickly, but frozen produce is, arguably healthier, certainly more versatile, and definitely cheaper.

Have said all of that, this recipe can easily use fresh or frozen strawberries. They will still taste good. Use any fruit for that matter. Just don’t use peas… ????

Now, let’s make these best ever strawberry muffins…



1. Gather all of the ingredients together

Obviously, strawberries and butter. However, this recipe also requires flour, eggs, vanilla essence, sugar, baking powder, salt and greek yogurt.

Gather the ingredients together

The measurements are on the printable recipe below and make 12 good sized muffins. Just scale up or down as you need. Oh, one more thing. I know I implied these best ever strawberry muffins are not that healthy. Well, only 211 calories each so one is ok… right?


2. Prepare the dry ingredients

The only dry ingredients are the flour, baking powder and salt. With these simply place in a sieve over a bowl.

Sieve the flour, baking powder and salt

Sieve these through to remove any lumps and then mix gently together and set aside.

3. Prepare the wet ingredients

A little bit of work to do now. If you have an electric mixer this will make life a little easier. If not then go grab a mixing bowl, a whisk and some elbow grease…

First, add the butter (make sure it’s at room temperature) to the mixing bowl and then add the sugar. Whisk these two together until light and fluffy.

Now, add the eggs and vanilla essence and mix in.

To this, add the Greek yogurt and mix this in.

Add the yogurt

With the yogurt mixed in, tip the dry flour mixture into the wet mixture and gently fold the flour in using a spatula until most of the lumps have gone.

Add the flour

Finally, add the milk and mix this to form a smooth cake mix or batter.

Add the milk and stir in


4. Prepare the strawberries

The strawberries are frozen but still need to be cut into small pieces. This is easy if using a sharp large kitchen knife. Just be careful the knife does not slip off the strawberry. Be mindful though that the strawberries need to remain frozen otherwise the juice will defrost and make pink muffins.

Once cut, place in a bowl.

Roughly chop the strawberries

Now, sprinkle a little flour over the strawberries. This will stop the frozen strawberries sinking in the cake mix.

Dust the chopped strawberries with flour



5. Prepare the strawberry muffins for baking

Now, complete the cake mix by adding 80% of the chopped strawberries to the mix itself and gently mixing in.

Now, take cupcake baking tray and add cupcake cases.

Spoon the muffin mix into the cupcake cases and sprinkle a few chopped strawberries on the top of each one.

Sprinkle more strawberries on top


6. Bake the marvellous muffins

Place the muffins in a preheated oven at 180C / 160C Fan and bake for approximately 20 minutes. The key is that the muffins have turned golden on top. Also, test the insides are cooked by poking a cocktail stick through the centre of one of the muffins. If it comes out sticky and wet the muffins need a little longer. If dry, you are good to go.

Muffins hot out of the oven

Once cooked, gently remove from the baking tray and place on wires to cool a little.

Place on a wire tray to cool

The muffins can be eaten straight away or kept in an airtight container in the fridge for around 2 days. They can also be frozen. Just defrost thoroughly and eat on the same day.

And that is all you need to do. Strawberry muffins ready for munching on whenever you like. Yes, a few calories but oh so delicious. Great little cakes and very versatile too. Yum!
