  • Coarse sugar (optional, for topping)

Method

  5. Add eggs one at a time, blending well after each
  6. Stir in vanilla extract

Notes

For vegan version: use oat milk and replace butter with non-hydrogenated vegan butter
Room temperature milk prevents lumps
Strawberries may be replaced with blueberries or raspberries
Store cooled muffins in airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days
Frozen muffins can be baked directly from freezer (add 2-3 minutes to baking time)
