💡 Tips

  • Coconut oil adds great aroma but solidifies when cold — make sure it’s fully melted before mixing.

  • These muffins pair beautifully with coffee or a cold glass of coconut milk.

  • For a nuttier twist, try folding in chopped macadamia nuts or almond slivers into the batter.

🍓 Bursting Strawberry Muffins Recipe

Just like the ones from Starbucks — but even better (and cuter)! Soft, moist, and full of real strawberry flavor, these muffins are almost too pretty to eat...😉

🧁 Muffin Batter

  • 2 eggs

  • 150g milk

  • 110g vegetable oil (corn oil recommended)

  • 80g granulated sugar

  • 250g cake flour (low-gluten flour)

  • 9g baking powder

  • 10g strawberry powder

🍓 Crumb Topping

  • 12g unsalted butter (softened)

  • 20g all-purpose flour

  • 12g powdered sugar

  • 10g strawberry powder

👩🏻‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ In a bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, milk, and oil until well combined.
2️⃣ Sift in the cake flour, strawberry powder, and baking powder. Stir until just smooth with no dry flour remaining (don’t overmix!).
3️⃣ Transfer the batter to a piping bag and pipe into muffin molds (about 80% full).
4️⃣ Mix the crumb topping ingredients by hand until crumbly like wet sand. Sprinkle generously over the top of each muffin.
5️⃣ Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for about 25 minutes, or until golden.
6️⃣ Let cool slightly, then top with whipped cream and a fresh strawberry to finish.

Optional: Add a few drops of red velvet coloring to enhance the pink hue if desired.

✨ Final Notes

These strawberry muffins are bursting with charm and berry goodness! The soft, moist crumb paired with a sweet crumb topping makes every bite delightful.

Perfect for spring picnics, brunches, or a treat-yourself kind of day.

🍓Tips

✅ No strawberry powder?
No worries — you can swap it with freeze-dried strawberry powder, jam, or even mashed fresh strawberries. Just reduce the milk slightly if using fresh fruit purée.

✅ Want a prettier pink hue?
Add a few drops of red velvet gel color or natural food coloring to enhance the dreamy strawberry color.

✅ For crispier crumble topping:
Use softened (but still cold) butter when making the streusel — this gives it that perfect crumbly texture once baked.

✅ Don’t overfill the cups:
Fill muffin liners about 70–80% full to allow room for a beautiful dome rise and prevent overflow.

✅ Baking time may vary:
Ovens differ! Check around the 20-minute mark. If the tops are nicely golden and a toothpick comes out clean (except for gooey berries), you’re good to go.

✅ Let them cool before decorating:
Wait until muffins are completely cool before piping on whipped cream and adding fresh strawberries — this keeps everything neat and photo-ready.

✅ Like chilled desserts?
Refrigerate the muffins after decorating. They taste even better cold — especially on a hot day! 🍓❄️
