Instructions
 

Muffins

  • Wash, hull and dice the strawberries (about the size of diced onions) and then place them on a paper towel.
    10-12 medium strawberries
  • Place another sheet of paper towel on top and press down to soak the excess juice. Allow them to rest while making the batter. 
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
    2 1/2 cups (300g) all-purpose flour, 1 Tbsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/4 tsp salt
  • In a large bowl whisk together the melted butter and sugar until they’re well combined.
    1/2 cup (113g) salted butter, 1 1/4 cup (250g) granulated sugar
  • Add in one egg and whisk until it’s well combined and has lightened in color, about 30 seconds. Repeat with the next two eggs, one at a time.
    3 large eggs
  • Add in the Greek Yogurt and the vanilla extract and whisk until it’s completely smooth.
    3/4 cup (170g) Greek Yogurt, 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • Add in the heavy whipping cream and whisk until it’s completely smooth.
    1/2 cup (118mL) heavy cream
  • Add in the dry ingredients, reserving 1 tablespoon of flour, and mix just until the last streak of flour is incorporated. 
  • Toss the strawberries with the reserved tablespoon of flour and fold them into the batter, just until they’re evenly distributed.
  • Cover with a lid, plastic wrap or a tea towel and set aside to rest at room temperature for 1 hour. 

Streusel

  • Preheat the oven to 425F (218C) and line 12 muffins tins. 
  • Combine the melted butter with the flour and sugar until pea size chunks form.
    1/4 cup (56g) salted or unsalted butter, 7/8 cup (105g) all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup (70g) granulated sugar
  • Use a large cookie scooper to fill the muffins tins to the top, the batter should be enough for 12 large muffins.
  • Distribute the streusel evenly over the tops of the muffins and bake for 5 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 375F (190C) and bake for 8-10 minutes, just until the muffins are golden brown and spring back when you press on the center gently. 
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 10-20 minutes before serving. 
  • Sprinkle a few crushed freeze dried strawberries on top for some color!
