There are purists who cringe at the idea of altering their favorite lemon poppy seed muffins, but I believe fresh strawberries are a welcome addition. They delight the eyes and palate \u2014 and add a little vitamin C to your morning muffin. These are only slightly sweet, showcasing the natural sweetness of the strawberries. The sour cream (or yogurt) adds tangy richness to this quick, easy recipe that will please a crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Makes 8 muffins<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

4 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1 1\/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
3\/4 cup granulated sugar
1 Tbsp + 1\/2 tsp poppy seeds
1 1\/2 tsp baking powder
1\/2 tsp baking soda
1\/4 tsp salt
3\/4 cup sour cream or yogurt
2 eggs
3 Tbsp + 1 tsp fresh lemon juice, divided
1 Tbsp fresh lemon zest
3\/4 tsp lemon extract
1\/2 cup fresh strawberries, medium dice
2\/3 cup powdered sugar<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Preheat the oven to 375\u00b0F. Lightly brush the top of a 12-cup standard muffin tin with canola oil (to prevent sticking), then line 8 of the cups with paper muffin liners.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a small bowl, whisk the sour cream, eggs, 2 Tbsp lemon juice, lemon zest, and lemon extract until well combined. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add the sour cream mixture to the dry ingredients. Using a spatula, fold gently for about 3 turns, then pour in the melted butter and strawberries. Fold a few more times, just until no dry streaks remain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divide the batter among the 8 lined cups, slightly mounding each. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the muffins cool, make the lemon glaze by mixing the powdered sugar with the remaining 1 Tbsp + 1 tsp lemon juice. If the powdered sugar is lumpy, sift it first. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remove the muffins from the tin and stripe the tops with glaze. Enjoy! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
