Here in the northeast…Spring has finally sprung and the fresh strawberry season is just around the corner. Every year between the end of May and the middle of June, I stock up on organic strawberries from a local fruit farm. I freeze about 3/4 of them and then quickly use up the fresh ones that I have left.
One of the recipes that I love to use fresh strawberries with is my great auntie’s Strawberry Muffins. This recipe is really easy-to-prepare and makes a moist muffin that is packed full of flavor. We love serving these with some melted honey butter drizzled over the top.
Easy Strawberry Muffins Recipe
1/3 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 cup milk
3/4 cup fresh strawberries, washed, de-stemmed and sliced
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large mixing bowl cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the large egg and mix well. In a separate mixing bowl sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt and ground cinnamon.
Mid the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk until everything is combined together. Fold-in the sliced strawberries by hand until they are blended throughout the muffin batter.
Lightly spray a muffin pan with non-stick baking spray or line the baking pan with paper liners. Fill the cups 2/3 of the way full. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 15-17 minutes or until done. Remove and let cool.

I love the fresh strawberries is this recipe. I cannot wait to make this over the coming weekend. I think it will be very delicious.
Thank you for the recipe! I just made them and they turned out so delicious.
They are so soft, not too sweet and just perfect. It’s a keeper 🙂
I love strawberries and i love muffins
putting them together sounds good like
to try this
Sounds so good I would add white chocolate.
I love using strawberries in different ways. I have not yet made muffins with them. I shall have to try this delicious recipe, perhaps adding a bit of lemon zest to it.
Sounds and looks delicious and easy! Muffins are always so satisfying, any time of day, with a little butter, or just by themselves. The only change I would make is to leave out the cinnamon, as I don’t like it too much. I wonder if I could put a drop or 2 of almond extract in there? I think it would set off the strawberry flavor nicely.
I love making muffins! They are so simple to put together & much tastier than cake! This one looks great, too.
These sound so perfect, what a great way to ring in spring! I’d love to try these!
We love Muffins at our house and I have everything that I need to make these muffins. They sounds so delicious! Thanks for sharing the awesome recipe.
It certainly is strawberry season and this is the perfect muffin for it. Makes my mouth water just reading the ingredients.
How classic, simple and lovely. You could do the same with blueberries.
