Strawberry Muffins


these little beauts come from allrecipes.com by katie mae. they were rated a 4 out 5 by 235 reviewers. taking some of their suggestions to heart, my notes are on the bottom. i used fresh strawberries and thought these tasted bakery worthy.



  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chopped strawberries

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) oil an 8 cup muffin tin, or use paper liners.
  2. In a small bowl, combine oil, milk, and egg. Beat lightly. In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, baking powder and sugar. Toss in chopped strawberries and stir to coat with flour. Pour in milk mixture and stir together.
  3. Fill muffin cups. Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 25 minutes, or until the tops bounce back from the touch. Cool 10 minutes and remove from pans.


*a note. if you like less sweet muffins, make recipe as directed above. however, a lot of the reviewers made some recommendations to add 1 tsp vanilla, 1/2 tsp cinnamon and 1/4 brown sugar. so that is how i made them and i loved the flavor. sweet but not cupcake sweet.
