Mini Strawberry Muffins Recipes

STRAWBERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners; spray the liners and the pan with non-stick cooking spray.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter and granulated sugar for about 2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl and beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract and almond extract. (The batter may look a little grainy -- that's okay).
• With the mixer on low, add the flour mixture in three separate additions, alternating with the milk and ending with the flour.
• Toss the strawberries with 2 teaspoons of flour (this will keep them from sinking to the bottom). Set ½ cup of the berries aside. Add the remaining berries to the batter and fold with a spatula until evenly distributed. Do not overmix.
• Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin (an ice-cream scoop with a wire scraper works well here); they will be very full. Scatter the reserved berries evenly over the muffins, then sprinkle the turbinado sugar over the center of each muffin (keeping the sugar away from the edges will prevent sticking).
• Bake for about 30 minutes, until lightly golden and a cake tester comes out clean. Run a sharp knife around the top edge of each muffin to free it from the pan if necessary (the edges can stick), then let the muffins cool in the pan for about 25 minutes. Transfer the muffins to a rack to cool completely.
• Freezer-Friendly Instructions: These muffins can be frozen for up to 3 months. After they are completely cooled, double-wrap it securely with aluminum foil or plastic freezer wrap, or place it in heavy-duty freezer bag. Thaw overnight on the countertop.

STRAWBERRY DONUT MINI MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 mini muffin pans.
• Mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg in a large bowl until combined. Add buttermilk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract; mix until only just combined. Fold in strawberries. Divide batter between the mini muffin pans, filling each cup 3/4 full.
• Place muffin pans into the preheated oven and bake until tops of muffins spring back lightly when touched, 12 to 14 minutes. Allow muffins to cool in the pans for 5 minutes, before removing to a wire rack.
• While muffins are baking, place 1/4 cup butter into a shallow microwave-safe bowl and microwave until melted, about 30 seconds. Place 1/2 cup sugar in a separate shallow bowl.
• When mini muffins are cool enough to handle, dip the tops into the melted butter and then into the sugar to coat. Serve warm, or allow to cool completely before serving.
