Strawberry Streusel Muffins
Strawberry streusel muffins are moist, easy to make, and delicious. A fluffy muffin filled with strawberries and topped with a crumb topping.
Muffins topped with a streusel topping are my favourite! These muffins are perfect for spring and summer baking. They’re not overly sweet and make a great option for a snack or breakfast.

Frequently Asked Questions
STORING THE MUFFINS
These muffins are best eaten on the day you bake them. After that the crumb topping becomes moist and no longer crunchy. You can store these muffins at room temperature for up to three days.
DO I NEED TO BRING MY EGG TO ROOM TEMPERATURE?
Yes you do. Room temperature eggs break down easier in the batter. This means less mixing, which gives you a fluffy moist muffin. If you forget to take your egg out of the fridge (I always do) just run your egg under warm water for a few minutes.
WHAT DOES SPOONED AND LEVELLED FLOUR MEAN?
Spooned and levelled flour refers to the way of measuring flour. To properly measure flour you should scoop spoonfuls of flour into your measuring cup and then level off the access by scraping with a knife. Scooping the measuring cup directly into your flour causes the flour to compress and you will get more flour than the recipe calls for.
What Does Beaten Egg Mean?
Beaten egg means an egg that is already mixed up. To do this crack an egg in a bowl and whisk together till broken down. Doing this means you have to mix the batter less, which leads to a more moist muffin.
