Strawberries and cream are combined to make these delicious streusel topped
strawberry muffins. Use light cream or half-and-half in these wonderful
moist
muffins. Great for breakfast or a snack any time of the day.
What You'll Need
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 large eggs
6 tablespoons butter, melted
2/3 cup half-and-half or light cream
1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, cleaned, hulled, chopped
Topping:
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons butter, softened
Pinch of salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
How to Make It
1. Spray muffin pan with baking spray or nonstick cooking spray. Heat the
oven to 375°.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, baking
powder, and salt; blend well.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the vanilla, eggs, and cream or
half-and-half. Add to the dry ingredients along with the melted butter and
stir just
until combined. Fold in the strawberries. Fill muffin cups about 2/3 full.
4. Combine the topping ingredients, using a fork, pastry blender, or
fingers, working until the mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle the top of each
muffin with
a generous amount of crumb topping.
5. Bake the muffins for about 20 to 25 minutes, until set and a toothpick
inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Tips for Great Muffins
Preheat the oven and put the muffins in to bake as soon as you have the
muffin cups filled.
Mix muffin batter just until ingredients are moistened.
Don't fill the muffin cups more than 3/4 full.
Use a toothpick to test muffins for doneness. The toothpick will come out
clean when the muffins are done.
Fruity muffins might be more prone to sticking in places. Run a knife or
small metal spatula around the sides of each muffin to loosen.
Cool muffins completely on a rack.
To reheat, wrap muffins in foil and put in a preheated 325° oven for about
10 minutes.
