Strawberry coffee cake muffins burst with flavor from juicy berries and delicious crumb topping. These homemade muffins will perk your morning up instantly with their tender crumb and perfectly moist texture. Make them the next time you can’t decide between muffins or coffee cake!

Have I ever told you that I am really indecisive? I mean that sincerely.

Ask me what I want to eat and I will absolutely tell you that I have no idea. And that’s especially true when I’m deciding between two delicious morning treats: coffee cake and muffins.

With these strawberry coffee cake muffins, I no longer have to make the tough choice between the two.

I can have my cake and eat my muffins too.

The Best Strawberry Muffins Ever

I’m so glad combinations like this exist.

The combination of the best part of juicy berry filled muffins and the insanely good crumb topping that makes coffee cake so good.

It’s the best of both worlds and exactly the thing you need to start your morning right.

How to Make Strawberry Coffee Cake Muffins

There’s another added perk to these yummy homemade muffins: they make the perfect quarantine baking project!

They don’t require hard to find yeast but will definitely satisfy that urge to make something homemade and special feeling.

To make the muffins line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. I love using pretty liners, but any liners will work. Then set aside the lined tray and preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Now let’s make the muffin batter. To do this, add the butter and sugar to the bowl of your stand mixer. Beat until they are evenly creamed together.
 
Once the butter and sugar is light and fluffy, add in the egg and vanilla, and beat again until evenly combined.
 
Add the flour, baking powder and salt to a separate bowl. Then use a fork to give them a quick whisk to combine them.
 
Now, you can start adding both the flour mixture and the buttermilk to the stand mix, alternating between the two. Wait until each batch is completely incorporated until you start with the next round.
 
Then once it’s all in the main mixing bowl, mix again just until everything is evenly combined. Then use a spatula to gently fold in the all but a couple of the strawberries. Set the rest aside.
 
When you’ve made all the batter, spoon 1/4 cup of batter into each lined tin and sprinkle the remaining diced strawberries over top.
 
Then make the crumb topping by adding all the ingredients for the crumble top in a small bowl and mixing it with a sturdy spoon until the mixture has delightful little nuggets of butter crumbs. Sprinkle it over the top of each muffin.
 
Finish the muffins by baking for 18 to 20 minutes. Let them cool for 5 minutes before taking them out of the pan.
 

 

Tips, Tricks and Variations

  • Don’t over mix your muffin batter. The batter may be a little lumpy and that’s ok! You want to mix it until everything is just incorporated. Over mixing will result in tough muffins.
  • Don’t have strawberries? Feel free to substitute your favorite berries. This would work with blueberries or raspberries.
  • Fresh strawberries work the best, but if you don’t have any feel free to use frozen strawberries. Just thaw them first and make sure to drain them of the excess juices.
  • No buttermilk? No problem! Make your own buttermilk by combining 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice OR vinegar with 1 cup of milk. Let it rest for 2-3 minutes, and then incorporate it into the recipe as instructed.
