Equipment

Muffin pan
Mixing Bowls
Electric hand or stand mixer

Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour (360g)
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter softened (226g)
1 ½ cups granulated sugar (300g)
2 large eggs room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup whole milk room temperature, (240mL)
1¾ cups diced fresh strawberries (328g)
Coarse sugar, for sprinkling on top (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line two 12-cup muffin pans with 18 paper liners. (Fill any empty wells half way with tap water to keep the muffins next to them from over baking!)
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar together on medium-high until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
Reduce the speed to medium. Add the eggs one at a time, beating until well combined before adding the next. Beat in the vanilla.
Reduce the speed to low. Add the flour mixture to butter mixture in 3 additions, alternating with milk. Once all is added, mix just until a few streaks of flour remain. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the strawberries.
Divide the batter evenly among the paper liners (about ¼ cup/85g ea; they will be almost full). If desired, top each muffin with additional diced strawberries and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool for a few minutes in the pan, then remove and finish cooling on a wire rack. Muffins can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen or up to 1 month.

Notes

Make sure you chop the strawberries into small pieces. This way, you get a little bit of strawberries with every bite. Also, larger chunks are heavier and more likely to sink in the batter during baking.
An ice cream or cookie scoop can help portion the batter evenly into the muffin tin. I used a #16 (¼ cup) scoop to portion my muffin batter.
If you fill your muffin papers with less batter, you can get up to 24 muffins. They will be a bit less tall, but it’s an easy way to stretch the recipe out! Reduce the bake time by about 3 minutes.
