Fresh Strawberry Muffins

Teresa Ambra

Fresh Strawberry Muffins are really sweet muffins with a nice, moist texture and delicious taste. There’s nothing unusual about these muffins – they have lots of fresh strawberries and cinnamon – and they’re incredibly easy to make. They have only 8 ingredients without lots of difficult steps, so they’ve always been a very popular muffin to make around our house.

The first time I sank my teeth into one of these tasty treats was a few years ago when one of the gals in our Sunday school class brought them to breakfast that morning. After the first bite I knew I had to have the recipe for these quick and easy muffins. This recipe is pretty simple and straightforward. You can have these ready for the oven in about 5-10 minutes and they take about 25-30 minutes to bake. They are great fresh out of the oven while they’re still hot.

My friend, Michelle, found this delightful recipe in her Gooseberry Patch Country Baking cookbook. Gooseberry Patch has become synonymous with offering really great recipes, and this Fresh Strawberry Muffins recipe is no exception. Lots of juicy strawberries fill every bite! I have made several things out the of Country Baking cookbook. I highly recommend it if you are looking for some great recipe ideas.

This is a great breakfast treat for your family. Strawberries are available year-round these days so you can make these up anytime. They’re a great treat to bring for holidays, office parties, or even to a sick neighbor.

This batch makes 18 which is a nice amount to have for your family and to share a few, too. 🙂 If you’re looking for a  way to use up fresh strawberries this recipe is excellent. Our family has always enjoyed these sweet, fruity, juicy muffins and we believe you will as well. Why not give them a try the next time you make breakfast for your family. They’re so easy and very economical.

I initially posted this recipe in April 2013. I had recently purchased my Canon camera but wasn’t proficient at using it, so these pictures were shot with an iPhone instead. There’s just no comparison. I’ve been systematically going back through all my old first year blog recipes and remaking them so I can shoot new pictures that are more presentable.

While I was making this recipe again (December 2015), I decided to make a few tweaks as well. The recipe called for two cups of sugar and three cups of flour. I knew that was why the muffins flattened out and dropped rather than holding a beautiful muffin topper shape.

I adjusted the recipe by decreasing the sugar by 1/2 cup and increasing the flour by 1/2 cup. Then I started the recipe at 425 and baked the muffins for 5 minutes at this higher temperature. Then I decreased the temperature to 350 for the remainder of the baking time. This allowed the muffins to puff up nicely the first five minutes of baking, and the steady lower temperature for the last 15 minutes kept the muffins from falling. These muffins were picture perfect and a lovely gift for friends. Give Fresh Strawberry Muffins a try and you will see just how enjoyable these lovely muffins turn out.

Equipment

  • 2 12 tin muffin tins
  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • 1 sharp knife to slice the strawberries
  • 1 small mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups UNBLEACHED all-purpose flour bleached flour toughens baked goods
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 4 large eggs beaten
  • 1 1/4 cups canola oil or coconut oil
  • 2 1/2 cups fresh strawberries sliced and slightly mashed

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425◦.
  • Combine dry ingredients in large mixing bowl.
  • In small bowl, combine eggs and oil.
  • Stir strawberries into egg mixture.
  • Blend in flour mixture until thoroughly combined; but do not over beat.
  • Spoon into greased muffin tins until nearly full.
  • Bake at 425◦ for 5 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to 350◦ and bake an additional 15-19 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Notes

NOTE: The original recipe calls for 3 cups flour. I've used up to 3 1/2 cups flour before with good results. But because some folks who tried this muffin thought it came out too stiff, like cookies, I've reflected the change in the flour again for future makers of this recipe.
 
NOTE: You can use paper liners in the muffin tins if you prefer. Spray each paper liner with cooking spray before using.

    Just not good. Tasteless(can’t blame it on strawberries), tough(careful not to over stir), etc.

    1. Teresa Ambra

      March 18, 2024 at 5:27 pm

      Hi Pat. I don’t know what happened to your batch of muffins, because I’ve had so many people tell me they enjoy this recipe. If you do end up with tough muffins, you probably need to add a little more liquid ingredients: egg, or oil. But this recipe uses 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar so it should have plenty of flavor, and it uses FOUR eggs and over a cup of oil so it should not have been the least dry or tough. Perhaps you used bleached flour rather than unbleached flour. The bleaching process puts all kinds of chemicals in the flour and are carcinogenic. I never use it in recipes. Bleached flour also toughens baked goods. Sorry these didn’t work out well for you, but we’ve never had any problem with them turning out wonderfully.

    Can you use olive oil?

    1. Teresa Ambra

      February 7, 2024 at 7:02 pm

      Hi Christine. I would NOT use olive oil. It has too strong of a taste. But you can use avocado oil or melted coconut oil.

    5 stars
    12 regular + 3 2x’s size
    Lined all with paper & tossed the larger ones in 3 minutes prior (next time will do 5min prior~ on 425) to the regular size that went in on 425 for 5min before reducing temp to 350.. you’ll be able to see that the muffins aren’t quite where you want them at 5min, … messed with the time a bit & room for improvement but… best approach for next time (with this oven) is 5min extra on 425 for 2xs size & WAIT UNTIL reg muffins are in at 425 for 7 min total before reducing heat , barrow time from total time .. let’s simplify :

    (7min 425& 12-13min at 350)
    For 2xs size muffins place in oven 3-5min prior to regular size muffins , possibly will need more time(3min?) after the regular muffins are done

    SALSA CHOPPER :
    (didn’t want the large chunks)
    I used 2cups fruit :combo of
    strawberry pieces washed & cut into 1/4s
    Blueberries
    .. best muffins I’ve made 🙂 new go to recipe & excited to try raspberry etc 🙂

      April 24, 2020 at 1:19 pm

      Hi Jenni. There are several things that you can check. Did you overstir the batter? Did you start the muffins at 425 and then reduce the heat? Was your baking powder fresh? Did you cook the muffins long enough? Each oven is different. This is a fantastic Gooseberry Patch recipe that works for me every time.

    I made these today because I was looking for a dairy free strawberry muffin! I saw that some people were wondering if coconut oil would work. I used coconut oil and they turned out absolutely phenomenal!!! I will definitely make them again! I am literally going to have to refrain from eating all of them today… yes all 20 of them…. haha

    1. Teresa

      March 29, 2019 at 2:47 pm

      Hi, Brooke. So glad you enjoyed them with coconut oil. Another option might be avocado oil. I use it a LOT and because it doesn’t have a strong taste it works with just about anything. Also glad to see you’ve “refrained from eating all of them.” I’m not sure I would have that much self control. 🙂

      Hi, Ellen. I haven’t tried coconut oil in the recipe but I’m sure it would turn out fine.

      I used coconut oil & they were great. My oil of choice with this recipe.

    Fingers crossed that these turn out. My batter was so dry I had to add 1/2 cup water just to be able to mix it.

      Hi, Brianne. Someone else said the same thing. I’ve never had a problem with the batter being too thick. Hope you enjoy them.

        It May depend on whether you scoop flour into cup and level off or pack it in. Read that somewhere

    Have you made and frozen the muffins?

    1. Teresa

      March 18, 2017 at 11:40 am

      Hi, Cindy. I think I’ve done that with these muffins before. I know I’ve done it with almost every other muffin recipe I’ve ever made. Muffins usually freeze very well if you freeze them in a plastic container with a tight lid. Enjoy.

    Made these tonight they tasted great! but for some reason they came out almost brown like a banana nut bread color. I might have mashed the strawberries to much. Also not sure if my flour was bleached or non. I’ll try again another time and not mash as much and check the flour.

    1. Teresa

      February 20, 2017 at 1:58 pm

      Hi, Kellie, yes, if you mash the strawberries too much, the juice will cause the discoloration. We love these muffins and hope you and your family enjoy them too.

    Do you think these could be frozen after baking and cooling?

    1. Teresa

      September 12, 2016 at 8:16 am

      Absolutely, Laura. I have done that many times. I do recommend, however, that you try to use them up within a month. After that, muffins tend to dry out.

    Just made these with gluten free flour and turned out delicious.
    But… What is the reason for 1 1/4 cup of oil? That seems excessive as a baker myself. How does this affect the recipe in your opinion an why you put it?

    1. Teresa

      September 9, 2016 at 10:50 am

      Hi Julia. I believe the oil in the recipe makes the recipe moister instead of dry. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great weekend.

    Thank you for sharing this recipe. My 10 yr old daughter made these for our family without any assistance and she said they were easy and fun to make. She’s making them again today intact for our 4th of July party.

    Planning to make these today but had one question. Can you use bleached flour with this recipe?

    1. Teresa

      June 25, 2016 at 9:54 am

      Hi, Mavis. I don’t use bleached flour anymore because of what is done to the flour during processing, but yes, you can use bleached flour. Hope you enjoy them.

    Wonder if you could vegan this with flax and maybe applesauce instead of eggs and oil… i will try and see, they look delicious though

    1. Teresa

      June 12, 2016 at 7:24 pm

      Hi, Kathy, I would consider using coconut oil rather than applesauce and coconut milk for the milk or cream. I have heard about flax being reconstituted and used for eggs. It sure doesn’t hurt to try. If the mixture seems too runny, you may have to add additional flour so the muffins don’t cave in in the middle after baking.

    Do you think this recipe would work for a sweet bread? Just bake a little longer than the muffins?

    1. Teresa

      May 20, 2016 at 4:07 pm

      I think it would Sarah. You may have to bake as long as 45 minutes to an hour. Insert a knife all the way to the bottom of the pan. When it comes out clean & without goo, the bread is done.

    I made these with my 4 yr old and 18 mo old this afternoon. I reduced the sugar to only 1/2 a cup and they were still DELICIOUS. Thank you for sharing! Will definitely be saving this recipe, as it is so difficult to find good muffin recipes.

      So glad you enjoyed the muffins, Erin.

  • Jessie

    April 7, 2016 at 9:27 pm

    These were delicious! I made them in a jumbo muffin pan, so I had to bake them a little longer. Next time I will cut out the inner white part of the strawberries though. In some of the muffins it kind of looked like raw egg. My kids and I loved them! I wonder if this recipe would work with fresh blueberries.

    1. Teresa

      April 8, 2016 at 9:39 am

      Hi, Jessie. Glad you and your family loved the muffins. I’m sure this recipe would work well with blueberries or almost any fruit you wanted to substitute.

        September 8, 2016 at 6:02 am

        I was thinking the same thing- with blueberries And strawberries they’d be fun for July 4th- or any time. I’m trying it today.

          Oh I bet that will be an unbeatable combination, Polly! Hope you enjoy them.

    Hi Teresa, what is UNBLEACH all.purpose.flour?

    1. Teresa

      March 19, 2016 at 7:51 pm

      Hi, Nancy. Bleached flour uses chemical agents in the process. It is finer than unbleached flour. We read an article back in the 1980s that said the chemicals used cause the flour to actually cause toughening instead of the natural process of unbleached flour. As a result, we’ve used only unbleached flour for over 30 years.

  • Bonnie

    March 3, 2016 at 8:40 pm

    Is there supposed to be milk in these?? The initial ingredient pic shows milk in a measuring cup but it’s not in the list or instructions. I tried making them without and the batter was super stiff like cookie dough.

    1. Teresa

      March 3, 2016 at 8:49 pm

      Hi, Bonnie. Sorry you had problems with the recipe. The ingredient list picture shows unbleached flour and sugar; no milk. Did you use four large eggs and 1 1/4 cups oil? The batter shouldn’t be that stiff. If you try it again, start with 3 cups flour. Add the final half cup of flour slowly, but not if the batter looks different than what the pictures above look like, or starts getting too stiff.

    2. Audrey

      May 17, 2016 at 11:09 am

      I’m with Bonnie. This was not like normal batter, more like cookie dough. Super bummed I just wasted ingredients… Wish i read the reviews first.

      1. Teresa

        May 17, 2016 at 5:25 pm

        I’m so sorry you had trouble with the recipe, Audrey. My recipe turned out perfectly, but I went back to my original recipe and reduced the flour to reflect the initial amount so others will not have further trouble. Thanks for letting me know.

  • Lucy @ Globe Scoffers

    Would it work to use thawed frozen strawberries? Or would it change it too much?

    1. Teresa

      February 18, 2016 at 12:52 pm

      Hi, Andie. You could probably use them but you may have to pat them dry a little bit so they don’t add too much water to the recipe. If possible, I would try to get the frozen strawberries that are not packed in sugar as they will add too much juice and sweetener to the recipe.
