Notes

Tips and Variations:

If desired, sprinkle a small amount of sugar over the muffin batter before baking to add a delightful sweet crunch to the tops.

Enhance the strawberry flavor by adding a touch of almond extract to the batter. Start with ¼ to ½ teaspoon and adjust according to your preference.

Experiment with different fruits or berries, such as blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, peaches, or cherries, to create your own unique muffin variations.
For a healthier option, substitute a portion of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour or almond flour.

Consider adding a handful of chopped nuts, such as almonds or walnuts, for an added crunch and texture.
