    Summer is when I find the juiciest strawberries. Sometimes, I get too many at the store or market, freeze some, and use the rest in recipes like this Strawberry Muffin Recipe. If you love muffin recipes as much as I do, you must try these!

    These muffins have a wonderful strawberry flavor thanks to the mashed strawberries and strawberry milk I used. To me, strawberries and whipped cream just go together, so I whipped up (pun intended) a yummy topping for these strawberry muffins.

    ingredients for strawberry muffins

    To make these easy strawberry muffins I modified my traditional muffin recipe to give them some sweet strawberry flavor!

    How to make strawberry muffins

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Rinse the strawberries. Remove the tops and slice up the strawberries.

    Mash the strawberries with a fork. You don't want them completely pureed, so leave a few chunks in there. Add 1 teaspoon of sugar to the mashed strawberries and mix. Set aside.

    Using a mixer, cream butter until it becomes fluffy. Gradually add 1 cup of sugar and continue mixing on low speed. Add both eggs and vanilla and continue mixing on low speed until the mixture is thoroughly combined.

    Add ½ cup of strawberry milk to the butter/sugar/egg mixture.

    Add the flour mixture and the mashed strawberries to the wet mixture. Do this gradually, adding a little flour and some strawberries, then mixing. Repeat this process until the flour and strawberries have all been added. Mix on low until a batter forms.

    Fill a cupcake pan with liners and divide the batter equally between the 12 liners. Fill each liner almost up to the top.
