Strawberry Muffins

I wanted to bake some blueberry muffins this week. But could not find any good ones and they are getting expensive. I went to HEB yesterday and saw that the strawberrys are in seasons. I bought 2 packs for USD 3. Gosh.. they are big and fat and juicy.

I decided to make some strawberry muffins instead!

The strawberry muffins - fresh from the oven !!!!!

I am happy with the perfect dome shape

and more muffins !!!!!!!!! See the strawberrys peeping out???

Muffins are one of the easiest bake. They are not cake.. but rather "quick bread". And Yes.. it is quick and easy to make muffins.. just 4 basic steps:

i) Whisk all dry ingredients together

ii) Whisk all wet ingredients together
