Strawberry Muffins are made in in one bowl and jam-packed with fresh strawberries. Sour cream keeps the crumb beautifully tender and moist, yet sturdy enough to hold the juicy strawberry without falling apart - Makes 6 jumbo muffins.
My ideal strawberry muffins has a moist, tender crumb that packs in many chock full of juicy ripe strawberry chunks.
I found that adding an excessive amount of diced strawberries into the muffin batter led to the muffins becoming a soggy mess.
💡 Did you know? Strawberries are made up of approximately 92 percent water.
So, I created a strawberry muffin batter sturdy enough to cradle the succulent, fresh strawberry, yet retain a tender and fluffy texture.
In anticipation of the upcoming spring season, I've dedicated myself to creating a collection of several fresh strawberry recipes to share with you. While those are in the works, I'd like to provide you with a preview of some favorites, including strawberry and cream bites or strawberry lassi.
