Sweet Strawberry Muffins with a tender crumb and crunchy sugar muffin top. This Strawberry Muffin Recipe is made from scratch in minutes!
It’s the little things that take something ordinary and make it extraordinary.
Like a little sugar on top that glistens and adds a little crunch to the muffin top and makes all the other muffins jealous.
Or fresh chopped strawberries, folded into the batter. As the Strawberry Muffins bake, the syrup from the strawberries seeps into the batter making incredibly moist muffins.
These muffins are easy enough for Saturday mornings or an afternoon snack, but beautiful enough to serve at Mother’s Day brunch. They also make a beautiful housewarming or hostess gift in a basket!
With just 10 minutes hands on time, these Strawberry Muffins are great to bake with kiddos, too.
