Makes up to 12 Muffins
Ingredients:
- 1 Carton Strawberry Soft Baked Bars, crumble 2-3 bars
- 3 Cups Flour
- 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
- 2 Eggs
- 1 Cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/4 Cup Brown Sugar
- 1 1/2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 Cup Butter, Melted
- 1 Cup Evaporated Milk
- 1 Cup Chopped Fresh Strawberries
- 1/4 Cup Vegetable Oil
- Finely Crumbled Freeze-Dried Strawberries, optional
- White Icing, optional
White Icing Recipe:
- 1-2 Tablespoons Milk, dairy or non-dairy
- 1 Cup Powdered Sugar
- Splash of Vanilla Extract or Lemon Extract
Supplies:
- Muffin Pan, greased or lined
- Large Bowl or Stand Mixer
Directions:
- Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees and grease muffin pans with cooking spray. Be sure to spray the top of the pans so muffin tops won’t stick.
- In a large bowl, combine flour and baking powder.
- In another mixing bowl or in a stand mixer, beat together the eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, oil and butter. Add evaporated milk and mix until fully combined.
- Stir in the flour mixture, careful to not over mix.
- Fold in the chopped strawberries until combined.
- Spoon batter into muffin cups and fill all the way to the top.
- Using 2-3 crumbled Strawberry Soft Baked Bars, sprinkle the top of the muffin batter.
- Add muffins to oven and immediately reduce the heat to 350-degrees. (Pre-heating to 450-degrees and reducing to 350-degrees will create the perfect muffin dome.)
- Bake for 20-30 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
- Drizzle with icing and sprinkle with crushed freeze-dried strawberries. Cut a fresh strawberry into a heart shape and place on top if desired.
Recipe Tip:
To make your own white icing, combine in a small bowl 1 cup of powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon of milk (your choice) and a splash of vanilla extract or lemon extract. Mix together and add a little more milk until the consistency is slightly thick. Drizzle on top of muffins and let the glaze set for about 10 minutes.
