How To Make Strawberry & Chocolate Muffins

Here’s how to make Strawberry Muffins.

Make your muffin batter:

First, begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (200°C). Prepare a muffin tin by placing paper liners in each cup. You can also lightly coat the cups with cooking spray.

In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to blend together the milk, eggs, vanilla, and melted butter. 

Once combined, add the sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and flour and mix until it forms a soft batter. Add in the strawberries and white chocolate and mix just until combined.

Finally, spoon the batter into your muffin tray. Set the tray aside for now.

Make the strawberry jam topping:

In a small mixing bowl, add the granulated sugar, fresh strawberries, lemon juice, and water. Use a hand mixer to blend until it becomes a jam-like consistency.

Using a teaspoon, spoon a small amount of strawberry jam into the middle of the uncooked muffins. Using a toothpick or chopstick, lightly mix the jam into the top layer of the muffin mixture. Set aside for now.

Make the crumble topping:

Make the crumble topping by measuring the flour, melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar into a bowl. Mix together with a fork. Sprinkle a decent amount on top of your muffins.

Bake:

Finally, bake at 425°F (200°C) for 13 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 360°F (180°C), and bake for 14 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center come out clean.

Ingredient Substitutions

Butter – You can use unsalted butter or margarine instead of salted butter.

Chocolate – If you prefer regular chocolate, you can use semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips instead of white chocolate.

Vanilla Extract – Use almond extract or lemon extract instead.

Sugar – Use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar for a richer flavor.

Flour – You can use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour if you’d like.

Milk – Greek yogurt or buttermilk will work instead of milk for a tangier taste.

Strawberries – This recipe will work with blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries instead of strawberries for a different flavor.

Tips & Tricks and Recipe Notes

  • Don’t overfill your muffin cups. ⅔ of the way full is plenty.
  • When you blend in the strawberries, don’t overmix. Keep the hand mixer on low-medium, and when the strawberries are evenly dispersed through the batter, stop mixing.
  • Use room-temperature eggs and milk to ensure that they mix evenly with the melted butter.
  • Make sure the oven is fully-preheated before you put your muffins inside so that they rise evenly.
  • If you’re short on time, you can use store bough strawberry jam and forego the crumble topping.

Can I Make These Muffins Gluten-free?

Yes! It’s easy to make them gluten-free. Just replace the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend. 

How to Store 

Store these in an airtight container for 3 days on the counter, or 5 days in the fridge. You can also place them in a freezer-safe Ziploc bag and freeze them for up to 3 months.

FAQs

Can I use frozen strawberries instead of fresh berries?

Yes, you can use frozen strawberries in this recipe. You need to fully thaw them, though, and make sure you drain any excess water. You can also dap them with a paper towel to dry them a bit. 

Can I reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe?

Yes, however, don’t reduce it by too much. If you remove too much sugar, your muffins will have a different texture and flavor.

How do I prevent the fruit from sinking to the bottom of the muffins?

It’s actually simple to stop your fruit from sinking to the bottom of your muffins. After you’ve diced your strawberries, add a tablespoon of flour to the bowl and stir to coat the berries. Once they have a light coating on them, add them to the mixture and they’ll remain suspended in the batter.
