Strawberry Muffins

These gorgeous Strawberry Muffins are sweet, light, fluffy, moist and delicious……and so easy to make. They are perfect for a Mother’s Day breakfast or brunch  or for a sweet treat anytime. Even hubby and the kids could make these.

With Mother’s Day around the corner, maybe you can hint to hubby that you would like these.  Print out a copy of the recipe and set it by the coffeemaker.

Or have the kids help you bake these ahead of time, so they are ready for Mother’s Day morning.

But be sure to pick up some big, juicy strawberries first. The grocery store had an abundance of beautiful strawberries, which prompted me to make these muffins and the Lemon Strawberry Pound cake with Chocolate Ganache.

I initially tried a different recipe for the muffins but they turned out too dry.  I found this blueberry muffin recipe on AllRecipes.com with over 6,000 excellent reviews and knew this recipe had to be good. However, since I had the bounty of strawberries I made it with chopped strawberries, and added some buttermilk and vanilla and it turned out amazing!

Don’t you just want to grab one of those muffins through the computer screen?  But sadly you can’t.  That means you will have to make this recipe so you can have some for yourself. Go ahead and give it a try. You will be very happy you did.
