Ingredients
Scale
- Streusel Topping:
- 45g all-purpose flour
- 45g packed light brown sugar
- 28g soft salted butter (or use unsalted butter with a pinch of salt)
- Muffin Batter:
- 200g granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 295g all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 120ml full-fat Greek yogurt
- 60ml sunflower oil
- 56g unsalted butter, melted
- 180ml milk, room temperature
- 5ml pure vanilla extract
- 300g chopped fresh strawberries, hulled and cut into small pieces
Instructions
- Combine flour, brown sugar, and salt (if using unsalted butter) in a bowl and whisk to remove lumps. Add soft butter and mix with fingertips until crumbs form. Cover and set aside.
- Place sugar and orange zest in a bowl. Rub together until fragrant and the sugar is tinted. Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into the mixture. Whisk until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, yogurt, oil, melted butter, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
- Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Fold gently until just combined, ensuring no dry pockets remain. Do not overmix.
- Toss chopped strawberries with 1 tablespoon of flour and fold into the batter. Cover and rest for 30 minutes to hydrate.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners. Divide batter evenly among cups, filling to the top. Top with additional strawberries and streusel.
- Bake at 400°F for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for another 15 minutes until golden and a skewer comes out clean.
- Cool muffins in the pan for 5 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack.
Notes
- Make sure the eggs are at room temperature for better emulsification.
- Resting the batter allows the flour to fully hydrate, improving texture.
- For extra flavor, you can add orange juice in place of some of the milk.
