Lemon Strawberry Muffins

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Lemon Strawberry Muffins.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C) and get your muffin pan ready by lining it with cheerful paper liners.

2. Step 2

   In a mixing bowl, combine the vegetable oil, milk, egg, and a splash of lemon juice.

3. Step 3

   Give it a gentle whisk until everything is nicely blended together.

4. Step 4

   In a separate bowl, mix the lemon zest with all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, salt, baking powder, white sugar, and brown sugar, creating a fragrant dry mixture that will be the base of your muffins.

5. Step 5

   Now, it’s time to fold in the star of the show—chopped strawberries—gently mixing them into the flour blend until they’re evenly distributed, adding a burst of color and flavor.

6. Step 6

   Next, pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir just until combined; remember, a few lumps are perfectly fine—overmixing is a no-go! Spoon the delightful batter into your prepared muffin cups, filling each one about three-quarters full to allow for some lovely rising.

7. Step 7

   Pop the muffin pan into your preheated oven and let them bake for around 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, signaling that they’re ready to shine.

8. Step 8

   Once baked, let the muffins cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, filling your kitchen with a warm, inviting aroma, before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

   Enjoy the delightful moment when you take your first bite of these strawberry lemon muffins, bursting with flavor and sunshine!.
