Notes
- Cut strawberries into small cubes to avoid large soggy fruit pockets.
- Toss strawberries with a small amount of flour to prevent them from sinking in the batter.
- Avoid over-mixing batter after adding flour to keep muffins light and tender.
- Use melted butter instead of oil for a richer muffin flavor if preferred.
- Fill muffin cases about three-quarters full to allow space for rising.
- Store baked muffins in an airtight container for 2-3 days to maintain freshness.
- Adding 1-2 tablespoons of orange juice can enhance the citrus flavor if desired.
