Want a spin on blueberry? This easy muffin recipe is the perfect vehicle for strawberry season<\/em><\/p>\n

Recipe Inspiration <\/strong><\/h3>\n

With spring is in full swing and summer quickly approaching, it means strawberry season! I love to come up with recipes that highlight the flavor of this beautiful berry without having to spend much time in front of the oven. This classic muffin recipe does just that!  Adding a touch of vanilla enhances the flavor of the strawberries and makes the final muffin a great match for a cup of tea or coffee. <\/p>\n

Recipe Tips <\/strong><\/h3>\n

I encourage you to use fresh strawberries instead of frozen, or your batter turns out a little runny, and most likely pink! using frozen strawberries also prolongs the baking time, so your muffins may not come out evenly cooked.<\/p>\n

As with most quick breads, less stirring is more. It may be tempting to beat all the lumps out of your muffin batter, but don\u2019t! Over mixing muffin batter creates an effect called tunneling, where your finished muffins end up with tough holes instead of fluffy, tender nooks. I\u2019ve found that after mixing my batter, giving it a few minutes before resting allows the baking powder to \u201cwork it\u2019s magic\u201d a bit, and makes the batter rise a little even before placing it in the oven. If you\u2019re in a rush, you can skip this step<\/p>\n

As with all my recipes, I encourage you to make it your own, swap out strawberries for raspberries or blackberries, add other mix-ins like lemon zest, cardamon, or chocolate. The possibilities are up to you! if you decide to bake up these muffins, be sure to comment here, or tag me with @beyondafoodie on social media! Happy baking! <\/p>\n
