Preheat oven to 400 and line muffin tin with 11 paper cups (what? I'm precise!). Put diced strawberries into a bowl and sprinkle with lemon juice.
In a bowl, combine flour, sugar and baking soda. In a 2nd bowl, mix together oil, sour cream, vanilla and egg. Combine wet and dry mixture and stir until incorporated. Add strawberries, leaving a small handful aside (about 1/2 cup).
Pour batter into muffin tins. If you like them to puff nicely over the top, you'll need to fill them almost to the brim. Not overflowing, but just shy of the top. These don't rise much in the oven. Sprinkle the rest of the strawberry pieces on top and press very lightly. Bake for 17 minutes or until tester comes out clean.
When cool, sprinkle powdered sugar lightly over top.

What do you do with the saved 1/2 cup strawberries? Put them on top before you bake the muffins? I'm going to try these. Also, sour cream is a "staple" at my house.

Yes, Susan, thank you! You put the remaining strawberries on top. I fixed the instructions above. :) I agree, sour cream is a staple at my house too! Matt hates it, but anyone who bakes and eats as much Mexican food as I do HAS to keep an unexpired supply in the fridge!
ReplyDeleteI love how simple these muffins look like they would be to make. The only thing is you mention to use baking soda and then in the directions you say baking powder so I was just wondering which one to use or both?

Michelle, thanks for catching that! It is baking soda, and I will make the correction. :)
