Why Freeze Dried Strawberries?
First things first, let’s talk about why freeze dried strawberries are so awesome. Unlike fresh strawberries, which can be a bit finicky when it comes to baking (they can make your muffins soggy), freeze dried strawberries keep their shape and flavor. The freeze – drying process locks in all the nutrients and delicious strawberry taste. It removes the water content, leaving behind these little strawberry powerhouses that are full of antioxidants.
Not to mention, they’re super convenient. You don’t have to worry about them spoiling like fresh fruits. You can just keep a stash in your pantry, ready to use whenever you get a sudden craving for some strawberry goodness.
Gathering Your Ingredients
Alright, so let’s get down to the nitty – gritty of making these muffins. Here’s what you’re going to need:
- 2 cups of all – purpose flour
- 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons of baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup of milk
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup of our amazing freeze dried strawberries, crushed into smaller pieces
The Step – by – Step Process
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners. This part is crucial because who wants to deal with muffin batter sticking to the tin?
-
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Give it a good stir. This is like creating the base foundation of your muffins. Make sure all the dry ingredients are well – mixed so that each muffin has a consistent flavor.
-
In another medium – sized bowl, beat the softened butter with an electric mixer until it’s nice and creamy. This usually takes about 2 – 3 minutes. Then, add the egg and beat it in. The egg helps to bind all the ingredients together and gives the muffins a nice texture.
-
Pour in the milk and vanilla extract into the butter – egg mixture. Mix it well until it’s smooth. The milk adds moisture to the muffins, and the vanilla extract gives that extra flavor boost that we all love.
-
Now, it’s time to combine the wet and dry ingredients. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to over – mix. Over – mixing can make your muffins tough. You want to see a few lumps in the batter, and that’s totally okay.
-
Here comes the fun part! Add the crushed freeze dried strawberries to the batter and gently fold them in. The strawberries will add these bursts of strawberry flavor throughout the muffins. It’s like little pockets of heaven in every bite.
-
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin liners. You can use an ice – cream scoop for this to make it easier and more uniform. Fill each liner about two – thirds full.
-
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 18 – 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. The baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven, so keep an eye on them.
-
Once they’re done, take the muffins out of the oven and let them cool in the tin for a few minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will prevent the bottoms of the muffins from getting soggy.
Customizing Your Muffins
These muffins are already pretty amazing, but you can customize them to your liking. If you’re a chocolate lover, you can add some chocolate chips to the batter along with the freeze dried strawberries. It’ll give you that perfect combination of sweet strawberry and rich chocolate.
Or if you want to make them a bit healthier, you can use whole – wheat flour instead of all – purpose flour. You can also reduce the amount of sugar and add a bit of honey for a more natural sweetener.
Storing Your Muffins
If you have any leftovers (which is hard to believe because they’re so good), you can store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you want to keep them for longer, you can store them in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
