Ev’s Celebration Strawberry Muffins

INGREDIENTS
- 2 1/2 cups gluten free flour (King Arthur’s Measure to Measure is great)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup cane sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup salted or unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup of mashed strawberries
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract (Trader Joe’s is great)
DIRECTIONS
- Pre-heat oven to 425F degrees
- Line a cupcake tray with muffins liners, we use the brown parchment paper ones
- Add all the dry ingredients to a bowl and whisk
- In a separate bowl add all the wet ingredients (except strawberries) and whisk
- Then add the strawberries and whisk together by hand
- Slowly add all the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients bowl
- Mix with a hand whisk, but don’t over mix the batter
- Fill the muffin tray with the batter
- Sprinkle with cane sugar
- Bake at 425F degrees for 5 minutes, and then lower to 350F degrees for about 17 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean
The strawberries can possibly require more bake-time. The batter should be lumpy. Don’t use a blender to mash strawberries–doing it by hand allows pieces of strawberries to be throughout the muffins.
