Notes
• Use fresh or frozen strawberries: Fresh strawberries give the best texture and flavour, but you can swap in frozen if needed (just use them straight from the freezer to prevent the batter becoming too wet).
• Don’t overmix the batter: Gently fold the ingredients together — overmixing can make the muffins tough instead of light and fluffy.
• Freezing info: These strawberry muffins freeze very well for up to 3 months — perfect for make-ahead baking or quick snacks.
• Oven temperature matters: Make sure your oven is fully preheated before baking — this helps the muffins rise properly and develop a golden, bakery-style top.
