Description
Soft and fluffy strawberry coffee cake muffins bursting with fresh berries and topped with a buttery cinnamon crumble. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a sweet afternoon treat.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, chopped
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (for crumble topping)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed (for crumble topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in the chopped strawberries.
- To prepare the crumble topping, combine the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your hands until coarse crumbs form.
- Fill each muffin liner about 2/3 full with batter and generously sprinkle the crumble topping over each muffin.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
- If using frozen strawberries, thaw and drain them well before folding into the batter.
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
- Muffins can be frozen for up to 2 months; thaw at room temperature before serving.
