Fresh Strawberry Muffins

By srumbel

We have a great local farm that sets up a strawberry stand near my house as soon as the season starts. My favorite thing to do is buy two gallons: one to use in recipes and the other to simply eat. There is nothing like local grown strawberries. Make sure you save this recipe so you can make use of it as soon as they come in where you are!

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 1 egg
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup light brown sugar
• 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 cup diced strawberries

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and prepare a muffin pan with either liners or non-stick spray.

In a bowl, mix together the oil, vanilla, milk and egg. Set aside. In another bowl, mix together the dry ingredients – flour, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, brown sugar and granulated sugar.

Toss the strawberries into the dry mixture until well coated and then add in the liquid mixture, folding lightly until well combined.

Fill the liners about ¾ of the way full, should give you about 10 muffins. Baked for 25 minutes. Cool slightly and remove from the pan. Great either warm or cool!

Serves: 10 muffins
