Tips for Making the Best Strawberry Muffins

When it comes to making the best strawberry muffins, there are a few key things to keep in mind.

Make sure that your strawberries are ripe and fresh. This will ensure that they're nice and sweet, which is essential for creating delicious muffins. If you have strawberries that are soft and close to going bad, they are perfect for this recipe.

Depending on your type of yogurt and the egg size, you might need to add some milk to the batter to achieve the perfect consistency. It shouldn’t be too runny nor too stiff but something in between. It’s best to keep adding splash by splash until you achieve the perfect consistency.

Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients and flavorings. Adding a bit of lemon zest or almond extract can take these muffins to the next level.

Strawberry Muffins FAQs

Can I use frozen strawberries instead of fresh strawberries?

Yes, you can use frozen strawberries. There's no need to thaw them first; add them straight from the freezer to the batter. Be sure to chop them into small pieces.

Can I use a different type of fruit in these muffins?

Yes, you can use a different type of fruit in these muffins. Be sure to adjust the amount of sugar you add to the batter as some fruits are sweeter than others.

What kind of Greek yogurt should I use?

You can use whole milk, nonfat, or low-fat Greek yogurt, but the results will be slightly different. The higher fat content in the whole milk yogurt will make for a more moist and rich muffin, while the nonfat or low-fat versions will produce a lighter muffin. If you are looking for a health conscious option, nonfat or low-fat Greek yogurt is the way to go.

How do I store leftovers?

These strawberry muffins are a bit moist on the inside due to the strawberry bits, so they are best consumed as soon as possible after baking. But you can keep them in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Bottom Line
