Ingredients

for the muffins:
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup milk
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup chopped fresh strawberries
for the lime glaze:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons lime zest

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. For the muffins: To avoid having pink muffin batter, it helps to freeze the chopped strawberries on a small pan in a single layer in the freezer. Do this right away, before you prepare the rest of the recipe. It only takes 20 to 30 minutes to firm up the berries when they are chopped small.
  2. Preheat oven to 400° F. Line muffin tin with paper liners and set aside.
  3. In a small bowl, mix egg, milk, and oil.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Add frozen chopped strawberries and fold gently, just enough to coat the berries with the flour mixture.
  5. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and gently fold again, taking care to not over mix. Spoon batter into prepared muffin tin.
  6. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes, or until muffin tops are puffed and golden. Let cool on a wire rack.
  7. For the lime glaze: In a small bowl, stir all ingredients until combined and smooth. Spoon over the cooled muffins and let glaze set.
