Quick and Easy Strawberry Streusel Yogurt Muffins

Muffins are one of those delicious baked products that you can make in an hour or less. A perfect breakfast or snack item for when you do not have plenty of time to prepare something delicious and praise worthy. With the simplicity and ease of making muffins (most if not all), you can make this the same day or few hrs before serving it. Freshly bake muffin out from the oven, you cannot beat that. This is one reason why I have quite a lot of muffin recipe in my website.

I cannot even recall which one in my favorite, it all depends on the season or in my craving. I love both savory and sweet muffins, but during the Summer season, a load my muffins with fresh Summer fruits, the likes of Strawberry, Blueberry, Cherry, Peach, Mango and Apricot. I am obsessed with fresh fruits and if I can incorporate them in my baking then even better.

I started seeing some very nice, red and sweet Strawberries in the market. It’s very hard to resist them, I bought 1 small box, still too much for me to finish though. What better way to use it than to make muffins. Strawberry Muffins it is, with streusel please! I fell in love with streusel when I used it in my Whole Wheat Carrot Streusel Muffin. fast forward, I add them to my muffins or cookies whenever I can. Such a simple step but it makes huge difference in elevating the simple muffin.

A muffin batter so simple and yet so versatile

This is a very versatile muffin batter. I’ve used this same recipe and switch Strawberry to Blueberry, and it turned out as good as this one. Be creative, experiment and enjoy the process.

Classic muffin or quick bread method

I am going to use the “muffin method” in making this batter. That means mixing wet ingredients and dry ingredients and then combining them together, as simple as that. With this type of method, you should expect a soft , moist and dense texture, just like how a regular muffin should be. Let’s get started!

Ingredients:

• 1 large Egg, lightly beaten  (1 large egg is normally 4 tbsp) – room temperature
• 1/2 cup Plain Yogurt or Sour Cream (full fat or low-fat)
• 1/3 cup or  5 1/2 tablespoon Flavorless Oil
• 1/2 teaspoon pure Vanilla Extract
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoon Brown Sugar
• 2 tablespoon white sugar
• 3/4  teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon Baking Soda
• 1/8 teaspoon Salt
• 1/2 cup fresh or frozen Strawberry (If using frozen, do not thaw) – sliced into small pieces
• 2 tablespoonp strawberry jam (optional)

Oats Streusel Topping:

•  1 tablespoon cold Butter (cut into cube or grated,use a large grater)
• 1 tablespoon Brown Sugar
• 1 tablespoon Rolled Oats
• 1 tablespoon All-Purpose Flour

This is a small batch (6 pieces) recipe, for a larger batch, just double the recipe.

Instructions:

1.  Preheat oven to 350F (177 degrees C). Position rack in center of oven. Butter or line 6/12 muffin cups with paper liners. If you are not using muffin liners, make sure to grease the pan.
2. Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl whisk together the lightly beaten egg, yogurt, oil, and vanilla extract.
3. Dry Ingredients: In another large bowl, whisk flour, white and brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gently stir in the strawberries until fully coated.
4. Wet + Dry Ingredients: With a rubber spatula fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir only until the ingredients are combined and moistened. As always, DO NOT over mix. The batter will be thick, that is normal.
5. Divide the Batter: Evenly fill the muffin cups with the batter (3/4 full), using two spoons or a medium size ice cream scoop. Add strawberry jam (if using) in the center and then cover with another layer of batter. Sprinkle the top with streusel toppings.
6. Bake: Place in the oven and bake for about 15 – 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin just comes out clean. If you are using a larger muffin liner, adjust the baking time as needed. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool for about 10 minutes before removing from pan.

Makes 6 medium-sized muffins OR 4 large-sized muffins

To Prepare the Streusel Toppings: In a small bowl, mix butter, palm/brown sugar and whole wheat/all-purpose flour. Use your hand to crumble them together. It’s ok to have small pieces of butter, it will melt once it starts to bake.

This muffin turned out soft and moist as expected, and it has a creamy taste. This is not sweet at all, the strawberry jam in the center added good flavor and moisture. The streusel complements supplied additional crunchiness and sweetness that is just right. This is really a good breakfast option, or snack. It’s very filling for a small size.
