Total time: 30 mins
Yields 1 Dozen
– Nonstick cooking spray
– 2 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 2 tsp. baking powder
– 1/2 tsp. baking soda
– 1/2 tsp. salt
– 3/4 cup melted unsalted butter, cooled
– 2 large eggs, room temperature
– 1/2 c. plain yogurt, room temperature
– 2 tsp. vanilla extract
– 2 cup chopped strawberries, divided
– 1 tbsp. turbinado sugar, such as Sugar in the Raw (optional)
– Strawberry Butter, for serving (optional)
Directions
Preheat oven to 375°. Line 12 regular muffin tips with paper cups, and spray cups with nonstick cooking spray.
Stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
Whisk together the melted butter, eggs, yogurt, and vanilla in a medium bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients; stir together just until combined. Fold in 1 1/2 cups of the strawberries. (Batter will be thick.)
Using a 2 1/4-inch scoop, drop a level scoop of batter into each lined muffin cup. Top scooped batter evenly with the remaining 1/2 cup berries; sprinkle with turbinado sugar, if desired.
Bake until tops are golden brown and wooden pick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, 20 to 22 minutes. Serve muffins with strawberry butter, if desired.
