Fresh Strawberry Muffins



It's strawberry season (at least it is in my backyard) The strawberries I planted 3 yrs ago are finally producing enough berries to actually do something with. I pick some almost everyday and they are the sweetest things. Way better then anything you can get in the store

I tried a couple of different muffin recipes before I decided on this one. Its the most moist and most flavorful....enjoy!

1 stick of unsalted butter..softened

3/4 cup sugar

1 egg

2 cups flour

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 cup milk

1/2 tsp vanilla

1 1/2 cups chopped strawberries

cinnamon/sugar mix

------------------------

Cream butter and sugar together. Add egg and mix well. In a separate bowl sift flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the flour mixture and milk alternately to the butter mixture. Add vanilla and then gently stir in strawberries

Spoon into your greased muffin tin. Sprinkle the tops with your cinnamon/sugar mix

Bake @ 400 degrees for 20-25 min
