While doing my usual perusing through Instagram and Pinterest this recipe for strawberry muffins caught my eye. The recipe is from Two Peas and Their Pod. The recipe was super simple to follow and I had all the ingredients that I needed on hand including fresh local strawberries.

I have to admit I have never made muffins with fresh strawberries before. The secret tip of combining the diced strawberries with a little bit of flour really worked well so that the strawberries don’t just mush into the batter. Another great tip I appreciated was to use two muffin trays and space out your muffins, six per tray so that the muffins have more space to bake. This was a brilliant tip and one that I will for sure use again. I have made muffins so many times and had them all spread into each other, not exactly pretty.

I also loved the sprinkle of turbinado sugar on top to add some crunch. My Dad always says muffins with a crunchy top are the best kind. I think these will be a winner in his books.

I have been saving these fancy parchment baking liners for a special recipe and I thought this was the perfect occasion to use them. I love when I go to a cafe or a bakery and they have these parchment liners. The muffins just seem so much fancier, and taste better.

Maybe you will try these yummy strawberry muffins in your kitchen. Enjoy!
