Step by step instructions
Here is how to make and bake these Easy Strawberry Streusel Muffins. You will need a 12 muffin tin, muffin liners, 3 mixing bowls, a spatula, and a whisk.
Step 1 - Prep. Line the muffin tin with 12 liners and set aside. If you need a recommendation, this is my favourite tin. Slice the strawberries into small pieces and set aside.
Step 2 - Make the streusel. Add the butter, flour, and white sugar into a bowl. With your hands or a fork, mix together until a crumbly streusel forms. Place in the fridge as the muffin batter is made.
Step 3 - Mix dry ingredients. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
Step 4 - Whisk wet ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients and white sugar. Whisk for 2-3 minutes until well combined.
Step 5 - Combine. Add the dry and wet ingredients together and with a spatula, mix just until the flour streaks disappear. Don't over-mix!
Step 6 - Coat the strawberries. Add 1 tbsp of flour into the bowl with the sliced strawberries. Mix around to evenly coat in the flour.
Step 7 - Scoop and bake. Add the muffin batter evenly into the liners. There should be 12 muffins total. Sprinkle a handful of streusel on top.
Step 8 - Bake. The muffins bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool, and enjoy!
FAQ
How do I store these muffins?
Strawberry streusel muffins are best enjoyed fresh within the first 2-3 days. They stay good on the counter like this, or you can also place them in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Do I have to make the streusel?
No, but it really adds so much flavour and an incredible muffin top. I highly recommend! Once you make muffins with streusel, you never go back.
