Strawberry Coffee Cake Muffins
These Strawberry Coffee Cake Muffins are the best muffin recipe around and will be an instant favorite with the fam! Is there anything better than fresh local berries? I think not. Except baking with them, that’s pretty good too!
A couple weeks ago I went with my mom to scoop up some of the last strawberries of summer. An hours worth of work yielded 6 quarts of beautiful and ripe berries.
Usually, there isn’t a lot of time to work with when it comes to freshly picked berries in the heat of summer, so I knew I needed to work fast. I froze a little more than 5 quarts and chopped up the rest to make these delicious Strawberry Coffee Cake Muffins.

I’ve always loved coffee cake, there’s just something about that sweet crumbly topping and the slight dryness of the cake, perfect to pair with your morning cup of coffee.
I knew this muffin recipe would be perfect breakfast for our Kiwanis Club as we met up on Sunday morning and started preparing for our local carnival.
The berries, though baked still remain juicy and sweet and the sugar crumble is just so delicious. You want to make sure to use cold butter as that’s what makes it all crumbly!
These strawberry muffins are light and fluffy and have just a slight hint of sweetness to them with a vibrant strawberry flavor. They’re best warmed with butter spread on them.
Although I’ve had plenty, this was my first time actually making muffins with berries in them, usually, I bake muffins with a little more spice because I tend to bake them in the fall.
Normally I use my summer berries in desserts like my Blackberry Buttermilk Panna Cotta or in drinks like my Strawberry Daiquiri or, you know, just eat them straight.
You can also make really easy fillings or simple syrups if you’re looking to use your berries up quick! The nice thing about this muffin recipe is that you can use any berry your fancy or even do a mixed berry topping, now doesn’t that sound good?
Blueberry and Blackberry season is right around the corner here in Maine, so stayed tuned for more delicious berry recipes!
Tools You’ll Need To Make This Strawberry Coffee Cake Muffin Recipe:
Muffin pan
Muffin liners
Liquid Measuring Cups
Dry Measuring Cups
Tips for Making these Strawberry Muffins:
- You can either mix half of the strawberries into the batter and add half to the top, which will result in flatter muffins. Or you can mix all of the strawberries into the batter which will yield dome topped muffins.
- Fresh Strawberries should always be used for this recipe, frozen strawberries have too much additional water/juice in them and this will result in soggy/sunken muffins.
- Buttermilk is a MUST! Buttermilk and other kinds of milk have different acid levels and react differently with the leavening agent and sugars used. If you don’t have buttermilk, you make a substitute yourself following the steps below!
How to Make Buttermilk Substitute:
Pour 1 cup of milk (whole or 2%) or heavy cream into a large bowl or 4 cup measuring cup.
Use a small fresh lemon or white vinegar. Stir in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice OR vinegar into the bowl with the milk and whisk to combine. Viola! You have buttermilk!
