February always makes me crave strawberries. Probably because I used to go to the Strawberry Festival in Plant City, Florida every year. Also my mom would take us strawberry picking where we'd spend an hour picking as many pints as we could, then we'd come home and mom would make jam! It was so good.
I can't go strawberry picking in February in the UK but I can make some strawberry muffins which satisfy my craving for something fruity. Here's my go to recipe.
Ingredients
½ cup milk
¼ cup canola oil
1 large egg
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped strawberries
Directions
Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) Line 8 standard-sized muffin cups with paper liners.
Lightly beat milk, oil, and egg in a small bowl.
Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Toss in chopped strawberries and stir to coat with flour. Fold in the milk mixture until just combined. Divide batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
Bake in the preheated oven until the tops bounce back from the touch and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes in the pan before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
Let me know if you try them!
