Easy Frozen Strawberry Muffins – VIDEO RECIPE

how to cook Easy Frozen Strawberry Muffins?

STEP 1

To start, preheat your oven to 180°C (350⁰F). Take slightly thawed strawberries and cut them into cubes. Then, roll the strawberry cubes in 1 tablespoon of flour to prevent excess liquid from getting into the dough.

TIPS: Slicing frozen strawberries becomes a breeze if you let them thaw slightly at room temperature. This way, you can effortlessly cut through them without any hassle.

TIPS: Fresh strawberries can be used instead of frozen ones. In this case you don’t need to coat them in flour.

STEP 2

In a medium bowl, combine the remaining flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Give it a good stir.

STEP 3

Next, take a large bowl and crack an egg into it. Add sugar and beat the mixture with a mixer until it becomes fluffy and pale.

STEP 4

Gradually add half of the flour mixture to the egg-sugar mixture. Then, pour in the milk and add the remaining half of the flour mixture. Finally, pour in the melted butter and mix everything together with the mixer on low speed until the dough is smooth.

TIPS: Instead of using butter, you can opt for good quality margarine. It works just as well! But keep in mind that margarine contains salt. So, you might want to reduce the amount of salt in the recipe. Just a little heads up!

STEP 5

Now, it’s time to add the ricotta and floured strawberries to the batter. Gently mix them in.

STEP 6

Take paper cups and place them into a muffin pan. Fill each paper cup about 3/4 full with the dough.

TIPS: Don’t have muffin paper cups? No problem! You can either buy them at the store or make your own at home.

STEP 7

To make them even more delicious, top each muffin with strawberry halves and some crumbled ricotta.

STEP 8

Pop the muffins into the preheated to 180°C (350⁰F) oven and bake them for 25-30 minutes.

STEP 9

Once they’re done, transfer the muffins to a wire rack and let them cool for 10 minutes.

TIPS: Wondering if your muffins are ready? Stick a wooden stick or toothpick into the center – if it comes out clean, your muffin is done.

STEP 10

Carefully remove the paper cups from the cooled muffins.

TIPS: Muffins are at their absolute best when enjoyed on the day they are made. However, if you can’t resist saving some for later, no worries! Just pop them into an airtight container and store them at room temperature or in the fridge for up to 3 days.

STEP 11

To add a finishing touch, lightly sprinkle the muffins with powdered sugar. These muffins are best served warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Easy Frozen Strawberry Muffins!
