Strawberry Muffin Recipe

My son is not a morning person and it is not always easy to get him up to eat breakfast before school. Actually, he is a morning person when he has an early soccer game but getting up at 6am for high school is just not the same. Long gone are the days when he would be up at the crack of dawn .

I would be woken up by a kid asking for pancakes or waffles. Now I am lucky if I can get him out of bed and pass him a banana or cheese stick to take on the car ride to school.

Strawberry muffins are also a good choice as a portable breakfast. I often make orange chocolate chip muffins, lemon muffins , and Concord grape muffins but these muffins are my favorite especially during strawberry season.

While I prefer to eat these muffins at breakfast, there is nothing better than having one as a afternoon snack with a cup of tea. The problem is that there might not be any left by the afternoon.

I also make these Double Strawberry Muffins for my brunch table. They would work well on Mothers day or Easter Sunday next to a Spinach Frittata and Blueberry French Toast Casserole.

Wouldn't that be a nice brunch buffet? Whether you are including the muffins in a brunch buffet or making them for a week day breakfast, they are quick and easy to make.

What ingredients do you need for these muffins?

I consider these strawberry muffins a bit healthier than your usual muffins because they contain whole wheat flower and fresh strawberries. Here are all the ingredients you need to make them:

whole wheat flour
white flour
baking powder
baking soda
salt
eggs
low fat buttermilk
sugar
canola oil
vanilla
strawberry jam and strawberries- Try my homemade strawberry jam recipe!

Storing Strawberry Muffins

These muffins age well and I think they are almost better the day after they are baked. Just make sure to keep them stored in an air tight container.

This strawberry muffin recipe freezes well too. They should be tightly wrapped in plastic wrap before storing in the freezer. They can be defrosted on the counter or reheated for 30 to 60 seconds in the microwave.

When is the best time to get strawberries?

Go out and find the ripest, juiciest strawberries you can find. The best part is that you can find good ones any time of year.

California strawberries are harvested year round with their peak season being early spring through the fall. Florida strawberries are available from December through April so that covers every month. And of course I like to get locally grown NJ strawberries when they are available.

Make these strawberry muffins and you are in for a real treat!
