Strawberry Muffins

Valentine's Day is one of those days you just may want to make something a little special, red and from the heart and these Strawberry Muffins are just perfect for that special someone.

Of course, you certainly don't need a holiday to make these scrumptious muffins they're great all year long and especially during strawberry season.

Besides being colorful these tender muffins are bursting with berries, tender in texture, and perfect slathered with melted butter with a cup of coffee to start your day.

These are super easy to make with just a few steps and the smell will make your mouth water while they bake.

Often we even use a mini muffin pan so we can have them on the go for those busy mornings when you have no time to cook because these taste great warm or cold!

Not only are these simple to make but since it's a basic recipe you can use any fruit you like especially if you're not big on strawberries, try some whole red raspberries, chopped cherries or even dried cranberries.

We love this recipe and big breakfast, sometimes these accompany Baked Pancake Casserole or our Simple Baked Bacon and Egg Cupcake Quiche the kids absolutely love both, and if you're not in a hurry try our Simple Homemade Pork Breakfast Sausages!
