Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups (190 grams) flour
- 2/3 cup (130 grams) sugar
- 1 1/2 cups (225 grams) diced fresh strawberries
Wet Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup (80 milliliters) vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) whole milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Extra sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 400°F and arrange paper liners inside a muffin tin, ensuring complete coverage or thoroughly grease the surface with cooking lubricant.
- Combine dry ingredients – flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt – in a spacious mixing vessel, whisking thoroughly to guarantee uniform distribution.
- Incorporate liquid components: oil, egg, milk, and vanilla extract into the dry mixture, blending until achieving a smooth, slightly textured consistency.
- Prepare strawberries by coating them with remaining flour in a separate container, preventing potential sinking during baking process.
- Delicately integrate floured strawberries into batter, employing gentle folding techniques to maintain structural integrity and prevent color bleeding.
- Distribute batter evenly across muffin compartments, filling approximately three-quarters full, then sprinkle a light dusting of sugar atop each section for caramelized texture.
- Position muffin tin in preheated oven, baking for 16-18 minutes until surfaces transform into rich golden hues and a inserted toothpick emerges completely clean.
- Allow muffins to rest within tin for approximately 5 minutes, facilitating easier removal, then transfer to cooling rack where flavors will continue developing and intensifying.
Notes
- Dust strawberries with flour to prevent sinking and ensure even distribution throughout the muffin.
- Use room temperature ingredients like eggs and milk for smoother, more consistent batter mixing.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to maintain a light, tender muffin texture and prevent tough, dense results.
- Swap fresh strawberries with frozen ones during off-season, but don’t thaw them to prevent color bleeding into the batter.
