Sweet strawberry flavour in the SOFTEST muffins you’ve ever eaten – once you try this recipe, you’ll never go back!
Fresh strawberries in season are the most beautiful things, and I’ve harnessed their delicious essence in these muffins.
There’s a twist, too. I’ve used type 00 flour in these muffins, which makes them ultra soft. This is because the flour is ground so finely, making the texture of these muffins an absolute pleasure to eat.
The Ingredients
- Type 00 flour – this finely ground flour is what makes this recipe so special! If you can’t find type 00 flour, use a finely milled flour.
- Baking powder – this causes the muffins to rise. Be sure to use the correct amount.
- Light brown sugar – light brown sugar has a lovely caramel type flavour that compliments strawberries really well. It isn’t as sickly sweet as caster sugar.
- Milk, eggs, butter – these are the liquid ingredients for your muffins (you’ll need to melt and cool your butter so it’s liquid but not too hot before using – you don’t want to scramble the eggs.
- Strawberries – use lovely, ripe strawberries. Unripe or strawberries that are too soft won’t have the same effect.
Top Tips
- Don’t over mix your batter. Just mix until everything is combined, then stop, otherwise the muffins may be dense. The batter is best mixed by hand so that you don’t mix too much.
- To check whether the muffins are cooked, insert a skewer into the middle. If the skewer comes out clean, they are cooked – otherwise, give them 5 more minutes.
- You can serve these muffins on their own as a snack, or as a breakfast with yoghurt and fresh fruit on their own side.
