Nothing much makes me happier than a batch of muffins, fresh from the oven.
It’s the time of year that I start getting homesick. It’s warming up, the strawberries are beautiful and juicy in the stores and I feel like listening to Christmas carols.
Why? I grew up in New Zealand and the seasons are switched. That means that around November/December is when it is warm outside and Christmas is coming.
Sometimes I play carols in the car, and daydream about being home with the rest of my family.
Other times I make muffins. Like these ones. We like them fresh from the oven, while they’re still warm!

Kylee’s Notes
Don’t overmix the batter. Overmixing means tough muffins. We want fluffy and soft Strawberry Muffins!
Fresh berries work best in this recipe, but you can use frozen berries if you need to. The juice will “bleed” into the batter, but that’s totally fine.
If you prefer, you can switch out the vanilla extract for almond extract.
Variations
- Use any kind of berry. Raspberries are especially good!
- Add a little lemon zest for a fresh burst of flavor.
- Mix in blueberries in half the batter, strawberries in the other – have the best of both!
How to Store Muffins
Muffins will keep for a few days on the counter at room temperature.
Freezing muffins
Muffins can be frozen after baking. Cover tightly with foil or parchment and wrap with plastic wrap. Freeze.
When you want a muffin, just thaw on the counter, or do a quick zap in the microwave. Fresh muffins, anytime

Get prepped
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners, or grease well.
Make the batter
In large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt together. Sift if your flour is super lumpy.
In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract and bananas until well blended (will be slightly lumpy).
Make a well in the flour mixture, and fold in the wet mixture until just combined.
Scoop the batter into the muffin tin
Set aside a few pieces of diced strawberry, and carefully fold the rest into the batter, don’t overmix.
Divide the mixture between the muffin cup (each will be about 2/3 full) Add a strawberry piece to the top of each (optional).
Bake
Bake at 375 degrees F for 18 to 20 minutes or until golden brown and muffins spring back when touched lightly with a finger.
Allow muffins to cool or eat warm if you can’t wait.
