The perfect cross between a tender strawberry muffin a crunchy glazed donut, these Glazed Strawberry Muffins are a decadent treat that can be made with fresh or frozen strawberries.

Easy Glazed Strawberry Muffins Recipe

My blueberry muffin recipe has been a viral hit for years now, and to be honest, I’m not sure why blueberry muffins dominate when strawberries are clearly the superior summer fruit… but today we’re putting strawberries back where they belong: in the summer spotlight.

These melt-in-your-mouth glazed strawberry muffins feature juicy strawberries, a tender crumb and and crisp, sugary glazed muffin tops.

They are inarguably the ultimate summer muffin recipe.

Moist, soft, fluffy and lightly tangy thanks to buttermilk and lemon juice, these strawberry muffins can also be gently warmed with the addition of cinnamon and allspice, especially if you are making them towards the end of the summer, when all things cinnamon and pumpkin spice start making their appearance.

Can these strawberry muffins be frozen? Yes, you can freeze these muffins for up to three months without the glaze. Bake and allow the muffins to cool completely. Place in a single layer in an airtight freezer bag or your favorite freezer containers. (If you need to layer up the muffins, place a sheet of parchment or wax paper in between the layers to prevent the muffins from sticking together.) Freeze up to 3 months. Thaw completely before glazing the muffins, as directed in the recipe card below.

How long do glazed strawberry muffins last? Store at room temperature 3 days – adding a paper towel to the container will absorb moisture and prevent the muffins from becoming soggy.

Kitchen Tools You May Find Helpful

• Measuring cups and spoons
• Wooden spoon or Spatula <– I like these spatulas because they are one solid piece and don’t have removable heads for bacteria to get trapped underneath. Plus they are heat-resistant and have a lifetime warranty.
• Mixing Bowl
• Whisk
• Cooling racks
• Muffin Tin
• Muffin Liners <– I also like these silicone muffin liners, they are super easy to remove and clean

How to Make Glazed Strawberry Muffins

Preheat oven to 375F

Line a muffin tray with muffin liners and set aside.

In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Stir and set aside.

In a large bowl, combine the butter, eggs, buttermilk and sugar until frothy and light. Add the dry ingredients and stir until just moistened.

Add in the strawberries and stir until mixed throughout.

Scoop 1/4 cup portions of the strawberry muffin batter into the liners.

Bake for 15-18 minutes until slightly golden and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

Combine the glaze ingredients, adding more milk as needed to make a smooth and runny consistency.

Dip the muffin tops in the glaze and hold over the bowl of glaze to drip off the excess, then repeat.

Let the muffins dry on a cooling rack set over paper towels.
