Best Strawberry Muffins With Candied Almonds 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.

PERFECT STRAWBERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line 12 standard-size muffin cups with paper liners.
• Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and the black pepper in a large bowl until well mixed.
• Using a measuring jug that holds at least 1 cup, measure the vegetable oil. Add the egg, then fill the measuring jug to the 1-cup line with milk (this should be 1/3 to a 1/2 cup of milk).
• Add 1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract and whisk until blended. Pour into the bowl with flour and stir with a fork until just combined. Do not overmix. The muffin batter will be pretty thick - see note below). Stir in the strawberries.
• In a small bowl, stir one tablespoon of sugar with a 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla.
• Divide the batter between the 12 muffin cups. (The batter will come close to the tops of the paper liners). Lightly sprinkle vanilla sugar topping over muffins.
• Bake muffins until tops are golden brown, no longer wet, and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out with crumbs, not wet batter; 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.

STRAWBERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) oil an 8 cup muffin tin, or use paper liners.
• In a small bowl, combine oil, milk, and egg. Beat lightly. In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, baking powder and sugar. Toss in chopped strawberries and stir to coat with flour. Pour in milk mixture and stir together.
• Fill muffin cups. Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 25 minutes, or until the tops bounce back from the touch. Cool 10 minutes and remove from pans.

MINI ALMOND BUTTER AND STRAWBERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line 24 mini-muffin cups with paper liners.
• Whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt and baking powder in a medium bowl to blend. Whisk together the almond butter, sugar, oil, vanilla and eggs in a large bowl to blend. Add the dry ingredients in 2 batches and stir just until blended.
• Fill each muffin cup half-full with batter. Spoon 1/2 teaspoon of the jam on top of each muffin cup, and then spoon the remaining batter on top to cover the jam. Bake until the tops are golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a rack and cool.
• Spoon 1/2 teaspoon more of the jam on top of each muffin in the center.

STRAWBERRY, LEMON, AND ALMOND OATMEAL-YOGURT MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease and line a 12-cup standard muffin tin.
• Combine oats, yogurt, sugar, oil, eggs, lemon juice, baking powder, lemon zest, vanilla extract, almond extract, baking soda, cardamom, and salt in a blender. Blend on high speed until mixture is fairly smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Either pour batter into a bowl and mix strawberries and almonds in by hand, or add the chopped strawberries and almonds to the blender and pulse just a few times to evenly distribute.
• Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups.
• Bake in the preheated oven until muffins spring back lightly when touched, 25 to 30 minutes. Allow muffins to cool a few minutes in the pan before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
