Strawberry Crumb Muffins

Adapted from Janae Monir
See more recipes here

While we were flush with strawberries after two weekends of picking, I also happened across a rather delicious looking recipe for Blueberry Crumb Cake.  Being the baker that I am, I decided it would be the perfect starting point for a second strawberry muffin recipe (I also have this one).  This is the first recipe I’ve used off of Janae’s site but I’ve been enjoying her photos and writing for a while, so it was about time I tried one.  I swapped around some spices, traded some wheat for white flour, and, of course, used delicious Bartlett strawberries.  Definitely a keeper.

(As an aside, I just realized that when the blog change over happened, all my old recipe posts lost their photos!  I’ll be working on this, but it might not get corrected overnight, so I hope you can bear with me…and trust that everything looks as delicious as I say it is.)

 

Ingredients

For the streusel:

  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar, lightly packed
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup wheat flour
  • 1/4 cup oats
  • 2 tablespoons chopped almonds
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted

For the cake:

  • 5 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon grated lemon zest
  • 2/3 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup wheat flour flour
  • 3/4 cup AP flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, washed and sliced

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.  Butter – or coat with cooking spray – and a 12-cup muffin tin.

To make the streusel: combine all ingredients except the butter in a bowl.  Stir in the melted butter.  Mix well until the mixture is evenly wet and crumbly; set aside.
To make muffins: cream the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on high speed for 4 to 5 minutes, until light.  Reduce the speed to low and add the eggs 1 at a time, then add the vanilla, lemon zest, and sour cream.  Scrape down the bottom and sides of bowl to make sure it is evenly mixed.  Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the bowl. With the mixer on low speed, mix until just combined.  Fold in the strawberries by hand while making sure the batter is completely mixed.

Spoon the batter into the muffin tin (it will be thick).  Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the batter and lightly press with the bottom of a clean spoon.  Bake for 15-20 minutes, until a cake tester comes out clean.

Bus stop selfie with Nora. This week she moved from her tiny charter school with only 18 eighth graders to the public middle school with over 200. And now she rides the bus.

The charter school wasn't challenging her enough, has a huge percentage of students who are disruptive in the classroom, and has been having trouble keeping teachers. Last year she loved it. But this year it was one thing after another, so right before Thanksgiving she and I went to go tour our neighborhood  middle school, and she immediately wanted to make the switch.

We've never had a kid in public school and I was nervous about how the transition would go from such a small school to a big one, but so far she's loving it and is glad she decided to move schools. It helps that she knows kids there already from her dance team. Hopefully she'll still be happy when she starts getting homework. Coming from a no homework school that may be a shock to us all.

Halloween 2022. Two witches, a murderous cat, and a creepy Victorian doll. 

Zara's costume was my favorite this year - Nora did her makeup and she wore my flower girl dress from my mom and step-dad's wedding. She might have worn it better. 😂
