Strawberry muffins

Strawberry muffins are a delightful treat that combine the sweetness of strawberries with the tanginess of buttermilk. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a quick snack, these muffins are fluffy, moist, and bursting with fruity flavor. With a hint of orange zest, they have a unique twist that elevates their taste. Let's get baking!

Ingredients:

3 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
380g
3/4 cup sugar
150g
1 tbsp baking powder
16g
2 tbsp orange zest
30g
2 cups strawberries
320g
2 eggs
100g
1 cup buttermilk
230g
1/3 cup butter
70g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and orange zest until well combined.
3. Prepare Strawberries: In a separate small bowl, gently toss the diced strawberries with 1 tablespoon of the dry flour mixture. This helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the muffins.
4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another medium bowl, beat the eggs. Add the buttermilk and melted butter, whisking until smooth.
5. Blend Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
6. Add Strawberries: Carefully fold the floured strawberries into the batter.
7. Fill Muffin Tins: Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
8. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
9. Cool: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Serve: Enjoy your delicious strawberry muffins warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.

Tips:

- Use fresh strawberries: Fresh, ripe strawberries will give the muffins a better flavor and texture compared to frozen ones.

- Don’t overmix the batter: Overmixing can lead to tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.

- Room temperature ingredients: Ensure your eggs and buttermilk are at room temperature for a smoother batter and better rise.

- Zest the orange carefully: Avoid the white pith when zesting oranges, as it can add a bitter taste to your muffins.

- Use muffin liners: Liners make it easier to remove the muffins from the pan and help with cleanup.

- Check for doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin; if it comes out clean, they’re done.

There you have it, delicious homemade strawberry muffins with a zesty orange twist! Perfect for any occasion, these muffins are sure to be a hit with family and friends. Serve them warm with a pat of butter or enjoy them plain—either way, they’ll be irresistible.
