Strawberry Muffins

Strawberry Muffins are rich in flavor and pack a big punch in the food world. They are also great for a quick breakfast on the go. Your favorite fruit can also be incorporated into the muffin, which makes it even better. I chose to use strawberries since they are one of my favorite fruits and they are a staple summer fruit.

I have taken a muffin recipe from joyofbaking.com as my base recipe and I made a few changes to it to make it my own. The ingredients that I used are listed below. I used all purpose flour, but if you want to use another kind of flour you can.

I hope that you enjoy this recipe and let me know if you make these.
