I remember when I was in High School, my best friend and I would go strawberry picking together every June. It was our way of de-stressing during exams. Truth be told, I don’t recall what we did with all of the strawberries. Perhaps my Mom used them to bake her famous Strawberry Bread with Strawberry Butter and her delicious Strawberry Freezer Jam.
I have continued on this tradition with my children by taking them every year to our local strawberry patch to pick strawberries. They love it so much, I think they would be happy to stay and pick strawberries all day long. This year, the Ontario strawberry crop was so bountiful, we actually went picking twice! I must share with you my trick for keeping strawberries fresh, but that is for another post.
Today, I would like to share with you a Strawberry Muffin recipe that I have created. We picked enough strawberries in order for me to make four different versions before I came up with this one, that I would like to share with you today.
- 2 cups flour
- 3 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 cup milk
- 1/3 melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 cup chopped strawberries
- Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and strawberries in one bowl.
- Combine egg, milk, melted butter and vanilla in another bowl.
- Gently stir together wet and dry ingredients, being careful not to over mix.
- Bake muffins in a muffin tin at 375 degrees F for approximately 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Muffins, I love muffins. Strawberry one, blueberry ones, banana it doesn’t matter

Although blueberry is my fav flavour, strawberry is a very close 2nd. These look so good my taste buds are going insane! I’ve pinned the recipe and hopefully will be able to try a batch, once life settles a little.
These sound so good, fresh strawberries now going to make some, thanks 🙂
I have not tried strawberry muffins before so will definitely have to try these!
Strawberry muffins, hmm, let see, the only ones I have had were from Tim Horton’s
These ones aren’t quite as sweet as the Tim Horton’s ones 🙂
Oh my goodness, these look so yummy. Always looking for snacks in the afternoon, I should make these!
Thank you, Erika! If you end up making them, please let me know what you think!
a drizzle of dark chocolate over them would complete it for me

Too bad strawberry season was finished so quickly, here in the Niagara region of Ontario, will keep in mind for next year
You could do this with California ones too!
These look awesome…love fresh strawberries!
Would be great to make with any seasonal berries
Love these, I could eat one now. Cant you tell its lunch time
Looking forward to making these on the weekend, I will be using frozen berries though
These muffins look really yummy. I usually don’t bake with my strawberries simply because my kids eat them as fast as I buy them.
LOL Amy – same here, I have to hide them for the specific reason to bake with them.
oh my they look sinful alright lol , wow they sure look delish , thanks for sharing , a must try 🙂
OH GOOD LORD!!! These look absolutely incredible! Thank you for sharing the recipe.
These look so good ! Thanks for sharing the recipe
I was wondering what to do with the fresh strawberries,yum believe I will try these on the weekend
I do like the sound of these, I can’t say that I ever get enough of strawberries and cream or strawberry shortcake but it’s always good to have another recipe for something different
These look really yummy!! Dust them with some power sugar hot out of the oven and a cup of tea 🙂
III like strawberries crushed and on my pancakes. This is a favorite treat with a little whipped cream or cocoanut cream on top. We did not go picking this year but bought quite a few at a very reasonable price. I crushed them with a little sugar and froze them. I am interested in how you keep your strawberries fresh.
Oh they look so good. I like my strawberries raw, cooked frozen, in smoothies etc
