I LOVE to bake. I think it’s fun to throw together ingredients and watch them rise and fill the house with wonderful aromas. These summer muffins smell fantastic as they cook and taste even better!
Really, is there anything better than a nice warm muffin with a steaming cup of tea or coffee in the morning? Sigh. Pure bliss.
It doesn’t really matter what time of the year either. When you have so many produce options throughout the seasons, you can find something new and yummy to make in your kitchen.
Muffins happen to be a favorite of mine. They are not as picky as a cake and they are instant portion control. (Well, maybe some of you don’t have that problem….)
I also love that you can make a big batch and freeze them for a quick, easy breakfast to pull out on busy mornings. Add a nice green smoothie and you’ve got a filling breakfast.
While blueberry muffins are a staple around here, my family enjoys a nice strawberry muffin too. They are beautifully moist and just a touch different to make them a nice treat.

Notes
This recipe is easy to change up. Another idea is to change out those berries for chocolate chips. (or maybe just reduce the strawberries just a skosh and sprinkle a few chocolate chips in there…that’s probably the healthier option!)
