Fresh Strawberry Muffins
I hope your week is off to a great start! If it isn’t these Fresh Strawberry Muffins are going to change that!
Strawberries and Springtime
Today I’m sharing a recipe for Fresh Strawberry Muffins that is just perfect for the upcoming strawberry season. One of my favorite signs of spring (apart from sunshine and flowers) are fresh strawberries.
We have a great local farm that sets up a strawberry stand near my house as soon as the season starts. My favorite thing to do is buy two gallons: one to use in recipes and the other to simply eat. There is nothing like local grown strawberries. Make sure you save this recipe so you can make use of it as soon as they come in where you are!
Recipe Ingredients:
- Fresh Strawberries
- All Purpose Flour
- Vegetable Oil
- Whole Milk, Egg
- Granulated Sugar
- Brown Sugar
- Baking Powder
- Cinnamon
- Salt
- Vanilla
How To Make Strawberry Muffins Step by Step
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and prepare a muffin pan with either liners or non-stick spray.
In a bowl, mix together the oil, vanilla, milk and egg.
Set aside. In another bowl, mix together the dry ingredients – flour, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, brown sugar and granulated sugar.
Toss the strawberries into the dry mixture until well coated and then add in the liquid mixture, folding lightly until well combined.
Fill the liners about ¾ of the way full, should give you about 10 muffins. Bake for 25 minutes. Cool slightly and remove from the pan. 
These Fresh Strawberry Muffins make a great breakfast, coffee snack, or afternoon pick me up. I like to have muffins for dessert after supper, too!

For years we have raised strawberries, raspberries and blackberries. Can I play around and substitute the different berries? I love them all – and yes – fresh from the ground!
Just wondering if I can use almond milk.
Hi Jan, you sure can use almond milk without any problems!!
Would you share the name of your local strawberry patch? I pass by your way at least once a month on my way to Nashville to visit my daughter and granddaughter and would love to bring some fresh strawberries when I visit. I had hopes of visiting your apple orchard/stand last fall. It didn’t work out but I have hopes of coordinating my visit with apple harvest this year. Do you have a local source for peaches too? I stopped at the farmer’s mkt in Bham last summer and bought some Chilton County peaches that were amazing. Hope they have a better harvest this year so we can grab some more. Isn’t the fresh local seasonal produce the best?
Hi Barbara, I don’t mind sharing at all! I get strawberries from Dennison’s. They set up little carts all over the county selling them and I get local peaches from Isom’s in Athens.
Thanks so much Christy. Looking forward to warmer weather and fresh produce from roadside stands. And making these muffins. Blessings to you and your family.
Ii used to live in Huntsville and he took my
Mom to isoms for peaches every year. Now live in Dallas and friends and i go to a town east of here and get peaches and veggies! Great stuff and memories!
My husband will really like this recipe. They look yummy . Is 1% milk ok to use?
Yes, that will work fine. They are more tender with whole milk but you likely won’t be able to discern the difference if you prefer 1%. I encourage you to modify it to suit what you like best!
I love everything STRAWBERRY!!! We didn’t grow up around strawberries but plenty of blackberries!!! I can’t wait to try this recipe!!
Those look amazing!!! The light, delicate color and the strawberries….oh yum! They look like the perfect summer breakfast. 🙂
