Strawberry Muffins
slightly modified from Tastes of Lizzy T
For the Bread:
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup oil
1 large egg
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder** (see notes)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups diced strawberries
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
For the Glaze:
2 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons melted butter
1/3 cup finely diced strawberries
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk* (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a medium bowl, stir together the sugar, milk, oil, egg and vanilla. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
In a small bowl, toss together the strawberries and the 2 tablespoons of flour to coat the strawberries. Fold the floured strawberries gently into the batter.
Pour the batter into muffin liners (approx. 12-16). Bake at 350 degrees for 15-18 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the center of the muffins should come out clean. Allow the muffins to cool for 5 minutes, then remove them to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the glaze, combine the powdered sugar, melted butter, diced strawberries and extract in a small bowl. Mix until it is smooth.
Once the muffins are cool, spread the glaze on top of the bread. Repeat if desired.
*only add cream or milk if glaze is not runny enough from the strawberry juice
