Written by on in Muffins

These Strawberry Muffins With Crumble Top are moist and tender and loaded with strawberry flavor and the sweet crumble top makes for a perfect bite weather for breakfast or just a snack on the go.

I love making muffins in the spring and summer because I get to utilize all the fresh berries we get from berry picking. Muffins are a great way to incorporate the berries into recipes.

These muffins are super moist and fluffy. They are loaded with fresh strawberries and the crumble top adds just the right amount of sweetness.

They are easy to make, with ingredients that you probably already have on hand. So the next time you pick up some fresh strawberries, why not give these muffins a try.

How To Make Strawberry Muffins With Crumble Top

Start by preheating your oven to 350º. Line a muffin tin with paper liners and set to the side.

In a large mixing bowl whisk together the all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg until combined, then set to the side.

To a separate medium size mixing bowl add the melted butter, buttermilk, plain greek yogurt, honey, eggs and pure vanilla extract and whisk until completely combined.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir together with a rubber spatula to incorporate.

Rinse and drain the strawberries. Chop the berries into small pieces and place them in a small bowl. To the strawberries adds some fresh lemon zest and strawberry jelly. I like to use a all natural jelly, not one loaded with added sugar, St Dalfour is a great option. Mix the berries,jelly and lemon zest together until incorporated.

Pour the berry mixture into your muffin batter and fold to combine, being careful not to over mix.

Scoop out batter using a large ice cream scoop and place into paper lined muffin pan. I like to fill every other muffin cup as to not over crowd them and give them plenty of room to grow. Set trays to the side.

Now its time to make the sweet crumble top. In a small bowl whisk together the all purpose flour, brown sugar, quick oats and ground cinnamon. Add the melted butter and mix together with a fork. If you like a lot of crumble top like me, you can just double the crumble top recipe below so that you can load each muffin up with that sweet crunchy topping.

Sprinkle the top of each muffin with about 1 tablespoon of crumble. Place the muffin trays in a preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Once cooked remove from oven and allow to cool on a wire wrack before serving.
