Strawberry Muffins – Mmmmm…Delish!
We went strawberry picking, and oh how glorious it was! A beautiful morning met with the joy of little hands digging through strawberry plants and finding the long-awaited for treasure – fresh strawberries! (You have not tasted strawberries until you have tried them freshly picked!)
A few years ago we made strawberry jam (so easy and yummy) but this year we are freezing the strawberries for over the winter…but not until we gobble some up in a variety of ways! One of the ways we ate them today? Strawberry Muffins, recipe brought to you by Laura from 10 Million Miles!

The Ingredients:
STRAWBERRIES!!!!!!! 1 Cup full to be precise, chopped. :)

3/4 C milk

One more thing…if you’re like me and in baking goodness mode, then grab one of these super cute aprons for 20% off using code ‘F20APRON‘ ! I love mine and wear it ALL the time!!! :)
Today’s post is linked up with Tasty Tuesday!
Oooo, those look super yummy! I have all of those ingredients on hand too, minus the strawberries actually. LOL. We just finished a bunch-need to buy more. This recipe looks like a great basis too for blueberries, raspberries, etc.
I haven't made muffins in a while, looking forward to trying it! :)
Warmly,
Karla
these look totally scrummy and how lovely to see the little one helping out! my daughter loves to bake too!

Wow, those really do look delish and probably are more so due to the little hands that made them.
I love to watch my daughter make things. I have hope that she'll go into marriage with more useful skills than I did.
anyhoo, this recipe looks like a keeper!
Oh goodness those look delicious. I will definitely have to try this recipe. We are big fans of strawberries in this house.
We received strawberries from our local CSA last Thursday, so I made these muffins on Saturday night. Super easy to make and oh so delicious! This recipe is definitely a keeper!
Love yuor blog!! My aunt is an old farm wife who shared this tip with my mother, who was complaining about strawberries getting mushy in the freezer. Cut the tops off but don't wash them. Freeze them dirty. Don't wash them until you're ready to use them. We thought about it and she never served a mushy strawberry no matter what time of year it was. Just thought you might like that tip.
I love the vibrant colors of summer berries. My kids love to bake so we may have to make some muffins soon.
haha! So glad you shared this recipe! When you mentioned on your FB page that you were making strawberry muffins, I thought to myself, "Oh, that sounds yummy!" and thought about asking you to share :o)
It started a muffin craving with me, so I made blueberry muffins this morning…lol
Strawberry next time, now that I have the recipe :o)

Jaime – I have blueberry muffins in the oven as we speak! Just picked the blueberries this morning! :)

Those look totally YUMM-0! I need to go strawberry picking with my little ones pronto! ;-) I will link love this post when I do!! :-)
Oh girl, I think you read my mind! Those strawberries look delicious as do the muffins. I have some strawberries in the fridge just BEGGING to be made into muffins. I think I'm going to use this recipe after dinner tonight!:D
Well, I don't have the pleasure of picking fresh berries but I did buy strawberries today so the muffins will be made tomorrow. Thanks so much for sharing the recipe! These + a warm cup of coffee? A bit of heaven, don't you think?
Have a blessed week ~

Hi, Sarah! I've been browsing your blog — like I've wanted to do for at least a year. We're on vacation at a beach house with Deane's family and it has wireless access. Such a luxury! The children in bed, and I have the chance to actually do some of these cool things that never happen when I have to leave the house for web access. :) Enjoying your site a lot! Hope to see you soon!
We just picked strawberries a few weeks ago! These look super yummy!
Oh they do look SOOOOOO good! I love fresh strawberries – they taste like sweet sunshine! =) What a great recipe – my girls & I will have to try this.
Oh my, these look so good!
I have lots of strawberries and can't seem to eat them quick enough. So, I may just have to bake a batch of these.
Thanks for sharing the recipe and also telling us about the apron; too cute.
Blessings,
Debbie
We made these muffins yesterday! They were incredible!!!!
We made these the day that you posted them. They were really good! I live in CO so at a higher altitude. I did have to bake them quite a bit longer. We didn't have any lemons that day so I made them without and they were still great. Can't wait to try them with the lemon. Thanks for the great blog. Love, love, love it!!
love them made a double batch friday gone by sunday!!! thanx
