Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup milk (room temperature)
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped evenly
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt to ensure the rising agents and flavor enhancers are evenly distributed.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the milk, vegetable oil (or melted butter), egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well blended and smooth for a consistent batter texture.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine to keep your muffins tender.
  4. Add Strawberries and Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chopped fresh strawberries and chocolate chips gently into the batter, distributing them evenly without breaking up the fruit.
  5. Fill Muffin Cups and Bake: Spoon the batter into a greased or lined muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for five minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for natural sweetness and moisture.
  • Don’t overmix the batter to avoid dense muffins.
  • Chop strawberries evenly to prevent lumps and ensure even distribution.
  • Use room temperature eggs and milk for better rise and batter consistency.
  • Check oven temperature with a thermometer for even baking.
  • Toss strawberries lightly in flour before folding in to prevent sinking.
