                         For the Muffins or Quick Bread:
   2               cups  all-purpose flour -- Note 1:
      1/2           cup  sugar
   1         tablespoon  baking powder
      1/2      teaspoon  salt
   1                     egg
      3/4           cup  milk
   6        tablespoons  melted butter -- cooled to room temp
   1           teaspoon  vanilla extract
   1                cup  fresh strawberries -- chopped
                         For the Topping:
   1 1/2      teaspoons  sugar
      1/8      teaspoon  cinnamon

These light and buttery bakery style Strawberry Muffins are an easy 
make ahead breakfast or snack!
Note 1: may substitute with 1C whole wheat flour and 1C all-purpose flour

Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 20 minutes
Cooling: 20 minutes
Total: 30 minutes

Preheat oven to 400F.

Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or spray with non-stick 
spray. Set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and 
salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together egg, milk, butter and 
vanilla extract. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir just 
until combined (careful not to overmix).

Gently fold in the strawberries.

Divide batter evenly among prepared muffin cups.

For topping, combine sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle 
mixture over the batter in the muffin cups.

Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the 
center of a muffin comes out clean.

TO MAKE A LOAF OF QUICK BREAD:
Preheat oven to 350F.

Spray a large loaf pan with nonstick spray. Set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and 
salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together egg, milk, butter and 
vanilla extract. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir just 
until combined (careful not to overmix).

Gently fold in the strawberries.

Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.

For topping, combine sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle 
mixture over the batter.

Bake for 45 minutes - 1 hour, or until golden brown and toothpick 
inserted in center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Remove from 
pan; slice and serve.

Recipe Notes:
Be careful that you don't over-mix the batter when combining the 
ingredients. Otherwise, you'll end up with tough, dry muffins.

Dice the berries into small, bite-sized pieces so that they're easily 
distributed throughout the batter.

For Whole Wheat Strawberry Muffins, you can substitute half of the 
all-purpose flour (1 cup) for an equal amount of whole wheat flour. I 
don't recommend using 2 full cups of whole wheat flour, because it 
will make the muffins a bit too dry and dense.

Don't skip the cinnamon-sugar topping on these muffins! It creates 
perfect sweet, crispy tops that contrast beautifully with the moist, 
tender insides.

To store the muffins, cool completely and then place them in an 
airtight plastic bag. Keep the muffins at room temperature for up to 3 days.

To freeze the muffins, wrap them tightly in foil or place them in 
freezer bags. They will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Question: Can other berries be used such as blackberries?
Response: Yes! You can definitely use other berries, but I would chop 
the blackberries if they're large so that you don't have huge chunks 
of berries throughout the muffin. Smaller berries (like blueberries) 
are fine to be left whole. Enjoy!
