Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Oven and Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease your muffin tin or line it with paper liners. This ensures your muffins cook evenly and pop out easily once baked.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt to distribute everything evenly. This helps the muffins rise properly and taste balanced.
  3. Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and combined. These wet ingredients provide moisture and richness to the muffins.
  4. Incorporate Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry, gently folding with a spatula just until combined. It’s okay if the batter looks a little lumpy—overmixing can make the muffins tough.
  5. Add Strawberries and Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold in the chopped fresh strawberries and chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter for consistent bursts of flavor.
  6. Fill the Muffin Cups and Bake: Scoop the batter evenly into your prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full. Bake in the oven for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for five minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This prevents soggy bottoms and keeps their perfect texture intact.

Notes

  • Use the freshest strawberries possible for juiciest texture and brightest flavor.
  • Stir the batter gently to avoid tough muffins caused by gluten overdevelopment.
  • Use cold milk and eggs for a more tender crumb.
  • Toss berries and chocolate chips in a little flour before folding into the batter to prevent sinking.
  • Check muffins a few minutes before the suggested baking time to avoid overbaking.
