Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the Dry Ingredients: Whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl to evenly distribute the leavening and flavorings for consistent muffins.
- Cream the Butter and Eggs: In a separate bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter until creamy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing until smooth and combined, then stir in the vanilla extract for a fragrant note.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, alternating with the milk. Stir gently just until the batter comes together, being careful not to overmix to keep the muffins light and tender.
- Fold in Strawberries and Chocolate Chips: Lightly toss chopped fresh strawberries and chocolate chips in a small amount of flour, then gently fold them into the batter to ensure even distribution without breaking down the fruit.
- Bake to Perfection: Spoon the batter into a muffin tin lined with paper liners or greased well. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes until golden on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Notes
- Use fresh strawberries rather than frozen for the best flavor and texture.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins tender and avoid tunnels.
- Use room temperature butter, eggs, and milk for smoother batter.
- Coat strawberries and chocolate chips in flour before folding to prevent sinking.
- Ensure your oven temperature is accurate for proper rising and browning.
