Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, combine melted butter, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the diced strawberries carefully to avoid breaking them up too much.

  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. If desired, dust the tops with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

For an extra burst of flavor, serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
