Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 3/4 cup fresh strawberries diced
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Optional Topping:

  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with butter or non-stick spray.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. Ensure each egg is incorporated before adding the next.
  • Combine With Dry Ingredients: Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture alternately with the milk, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  • Fold in Strawberries and Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the diced strawberries and chocolate chips into the batter.
  • Gently fold the diced strawberries and chocolate chips into the batter.
  • Prepare Muffin Tins: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
  • Add Optional Topping: If using, mix the sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle over the tops of the muffin batter before baking.
  • Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden on top and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  • Cool and Serve: Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, use fresh strawberries and high-quality chocolate. The quality of these ingredients can significantly affect the taste of your muffins.
  • Avoid Overmixing: When combining your wet and dry ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing the batter can result in tough, dense muffins instead of light and fluffy ones.
