These fresh strawberry muffins are a family favorite. They are so simple to make and something everyone will enjoy.
Do you ever taste something and you’re like, “Oh. My. Word. This is the best thing I’ve ever had?” That’s what happened to me when I tried these muffins for the first time. Yep, that’s right. These fresh strawberry muffins are that good! And I would definitely recommend using fresh strawberries. You can use frozen, but there’s nothing like the taste of a fresh strawberry. Costco had a 4 pound flat for $5.99 last week, so I knew I’d be trying to make strawberry muffins at that price!
As a kid, strawberries were my favorite fruit. We didn’t get them a lot because my mom thought they were expensive (vs apples, we always had apples. The little tiny red ones that have very little flavor. And green grapes. To this day I still dislike green grapes.). But when I did get them, oh boy was it a treat. I remember dipping them in a little sugar and just devouring them. They were really a favorite summer treat of mine.
This was my first time every trying a strawberry muffin recipe. Yep, first time. And I’m so happy with how they turned out. So, so good!
I may have eaten 2 right out of the oven. I could not stop at one they were so tasty! And I may or may not have had one with my coffee yesterday morning as well because why not? I just can’t quit you strawberry muffins!
I diced my strawberries pretty small, but left a few bigger pieces in there to get a good burst of strawberry flavor.
Fresh Strawberry Muffins

- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg

- In a small bowl, mix milk, oil, egg and vanilla until well combined.
- Add the strawberries to the flour mixture and gently mix to coat.
- Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and stir to combine. Make sure all the flour gets mixed in.
- Fill your muffin cups 2/3 full and bake 20-25 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.
- Let cool in pan 5 minutes, then remove to wire rack to cool completely, or enjoy warm with a cup of coffee or glass of milk.
Notes
They come out the perfect size thanks to my go to muffin pan. I may or may not have 3 of these pans. And a smaller 6 cup pan as well.
These are my absolute favorite measuring cups. They have been with me for years and always measure everything perfectly.

These look amazing my friend! I love strawberry anything! I totally want to make them! I’ll have to find a sugar replacement though.
Thanks for sharing.
Pinned!
Wishing you a lovely weekend.

These are SO yummy!! I replaced the sugar with 1/4c pure maple syrup and whole wheat flour instead of white flour. It’s also good with 1 carrot or small zucchini shredded in if you’re trying to get more veggies in!
I’m so glad you enjoyed these Lauren! Great substitutions as well!
Oh yummm! Pinning these…my boy loves strawberries and muffins, I’m sure he would love strawberry muffins!
These llok good! I have never had strawberry muffins before. I am pinning to try later.
Yum these Look great! I’ll be saving this recipe and definitely trying it out! Thanks for sharing!
These look so good! We love muffins around here and will be picking strawberries soon so excited to try!
These look great! We love muffins- cannot wait to try these!
Pinned these! I’ve decided for your Dallas trip, you can bring me muffins and I’ll have the Tex-Mex waiting for you 🙂
These look great and super easy! Yum!
These look delicious! Can’t wait to try them.
Oh my, do these look good! I have some strawberries that are just needing to be turned into this! I just pinned, shared your recipe and will be cooking this stat 🙂
Gosh your muffins always look so perfect! These sound delicious! 4lbs of strawberries is a lot! I don’t think I could finish one that big by myself :-p I have a 2lb one now so maybe I’ll make these 🙂
These sound sooo good and make me even more anxious for strawberries to be more in season around here. They’re still annoyingly expensive and never very fresh looking- but this is one I definitely want to try out this summer!
Made them and they are fabulous. We all enjoyed them and will be making them again.
I’m so glad you liked the muffins Sarah! Thank you for letting me know!
I tried this recipe tonight and the muffins turned out very pale, not that moist …. Wondering if a tablespoon of baking soda is the reason ?
Ah Andrea! Thank you for catching that! I can’t believe I missed the typo. It should be 2 teaspoons baking powder. I’m so sorry. Thank you for commenting and letting me know! I hope you’ll try them again and get the same results I did. 🙂
Just put these in the oven. Now sure how they will taste baked but I could have just eat the batter raw. Yummy. I did use melted butter instead of oil. Just a preference for me.
Question, what recipe plugin do you use?
I use the Get Me Cooking plugin. It’s great!
I made these muffins today, doubled the batch. Got 23. Making another double batch now. I had little more than 4 cups dices berries. I sifted icing sugar on top. Delicious loaded with berries. Will freeze some. This is a very good recipe. Could make it with almost any kind of fruit. Going to try with peaches. Thank you
I made these muffins and they are very good. I thought I would freeze some but there aren’t any left!
I did have one problem with the recipe though. When I added everything exactly as the recipe called for, I could bearly stir the batter because it was so thick. I added another 1/4 cup milk and 1/8 cup oil which made the batter moist enough for me to spoon it into muffin cups. I got 11 muffins.
I’m so glad you liked them! Sometimes when I make recipes multiple times they don’t turn out the same. Add milk to thin it out is perfect.
Thanks for sharing, these are awesome! I made mine gluten free and added protein powder. Can’t stop eating them! Looking forward to trying more of your recipes 🙂
Just made these and they turned out great! Pale and pretty. Mine were done at 18 min. The batter was pretty thick so I added a bit more milk to loosen it up. I actually hadn’t eaten strawberry muffins before so was very excited to make this. Thanks for posting! I made almost 2 dozen double chocolate muffins yesterday and now these today, so you could say that I’m in a bit of a muffin mood haha
