Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup milk at room temperature
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
  • 2 cups plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour divided
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups diced fresh strawberries
  • 1/2 cup blanched slivered almonds roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, cream together butter and sugar.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  4. Add milk and almond extract and beat until combined.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, baking powder, and salt. Add dry ingredients to butter mixture and stir to combine (do not beat or over-mix).
  6. Toss remaining 1 tablespoon flour with strawberries. Set aside 1/2 cup strawberries for topping. Gently fold remaining strawberries and almonds into batter.
  7. Divide batter evenly among muffins cups. Sprinkle tops with the 1/2 cup strawberries and turbinado sugar.
  8. Bake for 25 minutes, or until lightly browned.
  9. Cool muffins in the pan on a rack for about 5 minutes. Remove muffins from the pan and cool on a rack. You may need to run a knife around the edge of the muffins to release them from the pan.
