I involved my daughter for making this muffins and she did a very good job. The only thing is all the ingredients should be in room temperature.
Sweetness, fluffyness and fresh strawberries are the highlights for this muffins. It doesn’t require much time to bake. Just less than 10 minutes to make the batter and 15 to 20 minutes to bake the muffins.
When there is a strawberry season, these muffins appear in my kitchen without fail. The strawberries are fresh, picked from a nearby farm and I chose only 5 strawberries for making this muffins. I cored it and chopped them into tiny pieces before adding it to the batter. Frozen strawberries also can be used for this recipe.
