This week’s delightful recipe comes from Seasons & Suppers, a blog I have subsequently fallen in love with due to the beautiful photos and fantastic sounding recipes.
A simple yet delicate batter keeps the muffins light and crumbly, similar in texture to strawberry shortcake. Cold butter is cut into the flour mixture as per making pastry, with diced strawberries gently folded into the mix. If you’d like to dust the tops with icing sugar I say all the power to ya – but honestly these little gems of a muffin are perfect when kept simple.
I love how the flavours are straightforward, the berries kept centre stage. For me these muffins are the epitome of summer out here on the west coast, and although the strawberries were fashionably late this year due to lame weather they have (finally) arrived! And I plan on making many more batches of these muffins to celebrate.
Speaking of celebrating…look who stopped by for a bite?!

Thanks for posting about my muffins. They are one of my favourite things to make with strawberries. (And thanks for your kind words about my blog, too 🙂
Thanks for your comment Jennifer! Your recipe was a hit with all of us Muffin Mondayers 🙂 Definitely a keeper!
Beautiful muffins and I loved that Strawberry Shortcake came to visit. Made me laugh out loud when I scrolled down!
These muffins sound fantastic and love the Strawberry Shortcake doll 😉 Bummed I missed out this week but had a balsamic fruit salad (and giveaway) that was scheduled for today. I think I’ll need to make these on my own though soon. So simple and tasty I bet! Happy Monday!
Thanks Stacy! We were thrilled that Strawberry Shortcake had time for a visit…but these muffins are so good how could she resist a taste?!
Thanks Kate! Sometimes things get hectic with juggling blog posts…I totally get that 🙂 Be sure to bookmark this recipe though, it’s a keeper!
Aww.. These look amazing, J! Especially the picture with the doll! 😉
