Description

Here are my tasty strawberry muffins, with a crunchy streusel topping and a strawberry butter-cream frosting

Ingredients
 

For the batter:

  • 1 ¾ cup flour
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ cup/1 stick butter
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup of diced strawberries
  • 1 tablespoon flour to coat the strawberries before adding to the batter

For the streusel:

  • ¼ cup lightly toasted walnuts roughly chopped
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 2 tablespoons butter softened

For the frosting:

  • ¼ cup butter softened
  • 1 cup icing sugar powdered sugar
  • ½ cup of diced strawberries

Instructions
 

  • Place a rack in the center of the oven.
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F.

For the batter:

  • Grease 15 medium-sized muffin cups with a small piece of butter, then lightly coat it with flour.
  • Shake the muffin cups and invert them over a sink to get rid of the excess flour.
  • In a bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder baking soda and salt.
  • Place the butter and sugar in a bowl of an electric mixture, and beat on high speed for 30 seconds.
  • Add the eggs, beating well after each addition.
  • Slowly add the milk and vanilla and beat for 30 seconds. Scrape down the edges of the bowl.
  • Stir in the flour mixture. Mix one more time with a wooden spoon to fully incorporate the batter.
  • Coat the diced strawberries with the 1 tablespoon flour, and add to the batter. Stir one last time.
  • Spoon the batter into the greased muffin cups, filling one third of each.

For the streusel:

  • Mix together the walnuts, brown sugar, flour, and butter until crumbly. Sprinkle it evenly over the muffin cups.
  • Bake for about 15 minutes, or until you insert a skewer in the center of a muffin and it comes out clean.

Meanwhile prepare the frosting:

  • Place the butter in a bowl of an electric mixture. Add the icing sugar and diced strawberries and beat on high speed to mix well, obtaining a pink frosting.
  • When the muffins have completely cooled down, spread the frosting equally on top of the muffins. You can decorate each muffin with a strawberry half, optional.
