Strawberry Pecan Streusel Muffins

Teresa Ambra

Strawberry Pecan Streusel Muffins are amazing. I have used this same basic recipe for Peach Streusel Muffins and Blackberry Pecan Streusel Muffins as well as several others. With a few modifications, the muffins always turn out so wonderfully. Strawberry Pecan Streusel Muffins puff up beautifully while baking, rather than cave in so they are flat on top. The texture is great but so is the taste. It’s also a great way to use strawberries. 🙂

These luscious muffins use Strawberry-flavored Greek Yogurt in the filling. Then they have a streusel topping with brown sugar and pecans. Finally, they’re topped with a vanilla powdered sugar icing made with real cream. There’s an explosion of flavor that will knock your socks off!

I have to admit to having a huge sweet tooth. I also really enjoy muffins and coffeecake for breakfast. I don’t get to enjoy those kinds of delicious goodies as much as I used to when I was younger and had a much faster metabolism! But every now and then I splurge and enjoy a treat like this.

We had some friends from our church recently move into our neck of the woods. I volunteered to bring them a meal on moving day. I also decided to make up a batch of Strawberry Pecan Streusel Muffins and add fresh fruit as a side. That way they would be able to have a quick breakfast the following day.

I loved the way these muffins turned out. I’m a strawberry fiend anyway as you can tell if you look in the archives of my blog. I serve strawberries in so many of the salads I  make. I’ve also got plenty of breakfast recipes like Strawberry Coffeecake, Strawberry Breakfast Crepes, Fresh Strawberry Breakfast Cobbler, Strawberry Pie Crust Cinnamon Rolls and Fresh Strawberry Muffins to get you started. That doesn’t even include all the pancake or dessert recipes using strawberries I’ve already posted up. Yes, I’m an unapologetic strawberry lover. 🙂

If you enjoy muffins for breakfast then I highly recommend Strawberry Pecan Streusel Muffins. You can purchase strawberries all year round these days. So these muffins make a great breakfast for special holidays, Mother’s Day, and certainly during the Christmas season. They’re not overly difficult to make, although there are several steps and a lot of ingredients.

Strawberry Pecan Streusel Muffins are delicious muffins that you can enjoy even if there isn’t any special occasion you’re celebrating! I hope you put this recipe on your “to make” list soon. You and your family will be raving over the results.

Add UNBLEACHED all-purpose flour. Bleached flour toughens baked goods. Add diced strawberries.

Melt butter, add sugar, brown sugar, coarsely chopped or broken pecans and UNBLEACHED all-purpose flour. (Bleached flour toughens baked goods).

Sprinkle streusel topping evenly over top of the 18 muffins. Press streusel mixture into the muffin batter slightly so ingredients adhere together.

Bake muffins in a preheated 425 degree oven for 5 minutes. Lower temperature to 350 and bake about 15-19 more minutes. Or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Allow muffins to cool while you prepare the icing.

I used these ingredients to make the icing. Heavy whipping cream works a lot better than milk.

Whisk ingredients to combine. If you want an icing that’s thinner than what mine shows, add another tablespoon of heavy whipping cream. (If you try to use milk in this recipe you will never achieve the right consistency).

Spoon icing mixture into a zip lock bag and close the zipper. Push the icing mixture to one corner of the bag. Cut off a very small tip. Pipe the frosting over top of the muffins, as desired.

 I chose to pipe the icing in both directions.
