Ingredients

Units Scale

Muffins

  • 5/8 cup butter (I like Kerrygold unsalted butter for this)
  • 7/8 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs (room temperature, about 70°F)
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 2 cups flour (I always use King Arthur all-purpose flour)
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 cups strawberries (finely chopped, about 1/4-inch pieces)

Crumble Topping

  • 1/4 cup butter (melted and cooled to room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (I use Domino light brown sugar)
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the baking powder, salt, and flour.
  4. Combine Batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix just until combined.
  5. Add Strawberries: Gently fold in the finely chopped strawberries, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Prepare Crumble Topping: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar, sugar, cinnamon, flour, and nutmeg until crumbly.
  7. Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter into a greased or lined muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the batter.
  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool: Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs for better incorporation into the batter.
  • Finely chop strawberries to ensure even distribution and prevent large fruit chunks.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the muffins tender.
  • The crumble topping adds a delightful crunchy texture that complements the soft muffins.
