Strawberry Muffins are a great way to use up fresh strawberries. Great for breakfast or an after-school snack!
These muffins did not want to be made. My first batch was good, but not great. I altered the recipe in order to make them great (and they are!). When I started the second batch, I realized I didn’t have flour. What?! When do I not have flour in my kitchen? The next day, flour in hand, my strawberries were lacking freshness. The next day after purchasing a fresh package of strawberries, I was out of butter (seriously). Later that same day, after grabbing some butter at Target, I was out of vanilla. What the heck! They eventually got made, and they were well worth the wait. My boys LOVED them. They were pleading and begging and MOM-CAN-I-PLEASE-HAVE-ANOTHER-ing. I used these babies as leverage for at least two days.
It was fate for this post to stand out because it is also my 400th recipe! Wow! We have to celebrate this somehow, right? What better way to celebrate than to do a giveaway! So here’s the scoop.

Onto the muffins!
First, prepare the topping.
It should look something like this. Yummy and crumbly. Set it aside for now.
Combine the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, combine everything else.
Gradually add the flour mixture to it. Throw in some pretty strawberries.
Pour the batter into a muffin tin and top with the crumbles.
When they are done baking, your home will smell soooo good. All nearby bellies will be happy ones.
Now go check your supplies and whip these babies up!

I had weight loss surgery in 2012 and your recipes have really been a blessing to me. It's sooooo good and made easy. Thanks 🙂
I cannot wait for fresh strawberries to start making it here in Wyoming! This recipe looks "Ab Fab" and I know it is something my kids will love! Thank you for all the work you do to get these scrumptious recipes to us!
These look so delicious that I can't wait to make them. I love this time of year when all of the fresh fruit is in season, to me everything taste so much better.
Thanks for sharing this recipe.
I'm looking forward to this recipe. I have some strawberries in the fridge now and we're going strawberry picking soon so I'm gathering up my recipes for those 10lbs+ of berreis we pick. I'm still thinking about that meatloaf you posted, too. So good. Maybe this for breakfast and meatloaf for dinner. Mmm…
I LOVE STRAWBERRY'S and can't wait to make these. 🙂 They look delicioso! Thank you for all your wonderful recipes and the pictures that you take of them.
Love, love, love your blog….great recipes!!! 🙂
I love Pip and I love Ebby, and all the recipes, hints, information, and so on that you share with us…. but mostly I love the sweet mother that shows such courage and love while rearing her family. My boys are grown and gone but you still speak to my heart.
I am in the middle of a Garden Club flower show right now but as soon as I can get in the kitchen, I will bake these muffins. Thank you
I love strawberry muffins so much! I love this recipe!
Perfect timing for a wedding brunch this weekend. Thank you!
yay happy 400th!!!
We love strawberries and the flavor of spring and summertime that are captured in these muffins. Our entire family are going to love these, especially our 8 year old granddaughter who we're raising. I baked a batch using frozen strawberries because fresh strawberries aren't available in our local supermarkets yet and probably won't be for a few months. I couldn't wait that long to make these. The aroma of the strawberries filled our home which was heavenly as was the flavor. I'm going to bake several batches of these when we have guests stop by for a meal which is frequent at our home … with us having Eighteen children between us, Twenty-Four grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren. I think they come for our food more than just because they miss dad and me! My husband is a sensational cook as well but I'm the primary baker in this family so I'm primarily in charge of baking the desserts. Thanks Pip and Ebby for creating this wonderful recipe. <Smile>
I love picking fresh strawberries, I am so excited to try this recipe with fresh strawberries, Thanks so much for the different recipes I like trying new ideas!!!
Story of my life when I bake. BOOOOO. And I have strawberries to use so I will be making these for Breakfast this weekend. PS. Can I just say how awesome it is that you write the size of the ingredient over it? I love that.
These will make an excellent bribe for my husband's boss to give him time off! Now we can start planning another vacation…
Hiya megan, congratulations on your 400th recipe. Love the strawberry muffin recipe, I am relatively new to your blog and am enjoying it rather well. Keep up the good work. A fan
♥♥ HAPPY 400th RECIPE!!! ♥♥
These look awesome! I will be trying these tonight, right after I pick up more sugar & strawberries. My boys (& I) love anything with a crumb topping. We have made many of your recipes. I too, love the labeled pictures, it helps tremendously. I especially live the cute motherly introspect. I have used quite a few of your recipes as leverage as well! Lol
Thank you!
My fav part of all your recipes is the pics & little descriptions of all the elements 🙂
I know that has to take time & I wanted you to know I appreciate it!!
These look amah-zing 😉
Berry delicious!
Sorry, I hate to pretend to be pun-ny, but I figure between that and the fact that your recipes have single-handedly won me both friends (made them your hot cocoa cookies way back in college, to the highest of praise) and my boyfriend (your cupcakes got us through dark days, aka the beginnings of medical school), I'd maybe have a chance at catching your attention with my comment.
Terrible, I know.
But in all seriousness, I've been a (silent) follower for years. Thanks for the beautiful recipes and photos – can't wait to make and add this one to my (proverbial) recipe box!
LOVE!!! I'm going to have to make these this weekend 🙂
