Strawberry Muffins

I have been on a Strawberry Kick as of lately.  It must be the time of the year.

Strawberries are everywhere and ripe for the picking!

“There’s umm Strawberries and Cream, Strawberry Shortcake, Strawberry Tartlets, Strawberry Pancakes, Strawberry Cake, Strawberry Ice Cream,

Strawberry Creole…………………..”

SAY WHAT???????  Sorry, had to throw in a little Forrest Gump there.

My latest  is Strawberry MUFFINS!  SO GOOD!

These little things are ridiculous.  It’s best not to be alone when you bake these because others may never get one!  They are that good!

The best part or possibly the worst part is that they are very quick to make!  This may or may not cause you to bake them all the time, not being the best thing for your waistline!  LOL!

They have a pecan streusel topping that is AMAZING!

I always add more strawberries than the recipe calls for.  Because of this, I bake them a little longer to make sure the filling is done.

Definitely give these a try and if you manage not to eat them all yourself, try giving one to your child’s teacher or better yet, YOUR BOSS!  You might just get that raise you have been wanting.

However, if your boss is allergic to nuts, might want to skip that one…………….  OR not………………..  YOUR CHOICE!  I DON’T JUDGE!

XOXO,

Esther
