Homemade Easy Strawberry Muffin Recipe
Last week when I shared our Raspberry Cheesecake bars recipe I mentioned about going to the pick your own farm. Well, when we were there as well as the 2kg of Raspberries we also picked up 2kg of strawberries. Some of them that my kids picked were very ripe and they got soft quickly – but you know what that doesn’t mean that you have to waste them. Instead, I’ve got two recipes – this Easy Strawberry Muffin Recipe and also a Strawberry Mousse Recipe that are ideal for using your overripe strawberries in.
I love muffins and I have a go-to recipe that I use for the base of all of my fruit muffins – it’s adapted from one my sister-in-law shared with me that her mother used to bake all the time when she was growing up and makes really moist delicious muffins and it’s relatively easy to make as well.

This time, it’s a strawberry muffin but come the autumn and our fruit trees are ready I’ll share my apple and cinnamon and pear and ginger versions as well.

These muffins can be frozen (good luck with there being any left!) simply put in a bag of plastic container and place in the freezer, when it comes time to use take out and defrost for 2 – 3 hours then place in the oven for 5 – 10 minutes at 200C to warm up and freshen. Perfect for a warm breakfast muffin that you can make ahead.
