Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh Strawberries, hulled and chopped
- 1/2 cup Sugar or Honey (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour (or gluten-free flour for variation)
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/4 cup Butter or Coconut Oil, softened
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 cup Milk or Plant-Based Milk
Instructions
- Prepare Your Strawberries: Wash the strawberries thoroughly, hull and chop them into bite-sized pieces. Set aside to allow juices to mingle, which adds natural moisture and flavor to your treats.
- Mix Your Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure even rising and balanced flavor throughout your batter.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a separate bowl, beat softened butter with sugar until light and fluffy, creating a tender crumb and creamy sweetness base.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Add vanilla extract and milk to the butter mixture, stirring gently until everything is well incorporated and smooth.
- Fold in Dry Ingredients and Strawberries: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Carefully fold in the chopped strawberries, spreading their juicy goodness without breaking them down too much.
- Bake to Perfection: Transfer the batter into a prepared baking pan or muffin tins. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean, locking in fresh strawberry flavor with a light, moist texture.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients like butter and eggs for a smoother batter.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep treats tender and avoid dense texture.
- Select fresh, firm strawberries instead of mushy ones to maintain vibrant flavor and neat appearance.
- Lightly coat strawberries in flour before folding in to prevent them from sinking during baking.
- Check oven temperature with a thermometer to avoid over or undercooking.
