Strawberry Muffins

May 4, 2011 by April

Strawberries becoming ripe is one of the first few signs of spring in South Carolina — along with daffodils and pollen, of course. Putting said strawberries into muffin form is perfect for this time of year too because it's still not too hot to bake, and fresh fruit is in season. What a great reward, mother nature!

Every year I stop by the Cottle Farms strawberry stands that pop up all over the Midlands and get a large crate of berries and quarter and freeze a large portion of them. But first, a portion of them always becomes strawberry muffins, and usually mini muffins, at that. I just love the two-bite size of them. It may mean washing two mini  muffin pans instead of one large muffin pan but it's worth it.

Strawberry Muffins

Strawberry muffins with a hint of cinnamon are good in regular size muffin form or as mini muffins. Make them with fresh spring strawberries or frozen strawberries, either way produces the same delicious results.
