Make quick strawberry shortcake flavored muffins with minimal preparation time for a fast snack or breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream, for topping (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar, for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. This should take about one minute.
  3. In a separate small bowl, mix the milk, oil, egg, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined; do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the diced fresh strawberries.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 16 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. While the muffins cool slightly, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
  9. Top each warm muffin with a dollop of whipped cream before serving.

Notes

  • For a faster snack, you can use a store-bought muffin mix and follow the package directions, adding the strawberries to the batter.
  • If you want a shortcake crumb topping, mix 1/4 cup flour, 2 tablespoons cold butter (cut into pieces), and 2 tablespoons sugar until crumbly, then sprinkle over the batter before baking.
  • You can prepare the batter up to 30 minutes ahead and keep it covered in the refrigerator before baking.
