If you need a quick and easy muffin recipe for Easter Sunday, this one is it! Simple enough even for beginners, this is a muffin that packs a powerful punch. Lightly sweeten with just the right about of sugar and lemon, and that slightly tart tang coming from the strawberries.

Hi Beth, I made these today for my little one to take for her spring function tomorrow. They turned out sooooo good. I stumbled upon your recipe on Pinterest then it led me to your youtube channel and finally here. Your consideration to details, flavors, and giving alerts to avoid basic cooking disasters are commendable! Beautiful and meaningful execution 🙂 If I had to pay for being your subscriber then I would do it without any hesitancy. I will share pic. of muffins via Pinterest.
Awe that’s so nice to hear! I’m so glad the muffins were a success! And easy right? 🙂 That’s the best part! Ha! Thanks so much for your kind words about the recipes and videos, I’m so glad you enjoy them!
Great, light and pretty muffin! It will be part of our Easter brunch menu.
YAY! So glad they were a hit! Yes these would be great for Easter brunch! Hope they are a hit with your guests! 🙂
Hi Beth,
May I ask what flour you use please, is it Self Raising Flour or Plain?
Thank you 🌻
Traci 😊
Oh sure all my recipes are developed with pain all-purpose flour 🙂 Much easier that way! Hope you enjoy!
Hey Beth
I saw it is half a cup water in the video recipe. But quarter cup in the written recipe here. Can you please clarify which to follow?
So sorry about that! It should be 1/2 cup of water to match the video. Just updated the recipe! Thanks for pointing that out 🙂
Hi Beth, just baked the muffins . Came out moist and fluffy and tasted good. Thank you for sharing.
YAY! So glad it was a hit! 🙂
Could you use frozen strawberries when fresh strawberries are out of season ?
Yes of course frozen would be great too 🙂 . Enjoy!
Hi, I love the recipe! I was just wondering with size cupcake pan did yum use??
Oh sure it’s just a regular standard size tin 🙂 like this one
Thank you!!
Hi Beth, I love your recipes, I just made this a few days ago, they came out awesome, thanks
Awe thanks Andrea! I’m so glad you enjoy the recipes and these muffins were a hit! I’ve got a yummy Banana Chocolate Muffin coming up next weekend you might enjoy ha! Stay tuned! xx Beth
Good post, keep
Can I sub buttermilk or milk instead of water?
Sure you could but the water is actually what gives them their lightness. Milk and buttermilk has fat in it which would weigh the muffin down, water is really the secret ingredient when it comes to creating a lighter muffin or cake 🙂 Enjoy!
Could I add grated apple/cinnamon instead of strawberries? Thank you
Z
Oh sure that would be great too! Enjoy!
Could you make 1 loaf of bread with this recipe?
hmmm great question! I might be afraid it wouldn’t have the right structure since the crumb is so delicate. It might fall apart? But next week I have an awesome Blood Orange Pound Cake recipe that would also be fantastic for Easter Brunch. Or you could try these loaf bread recipes which are also really great! Hope you enjoy!~ .
