Strawberry Vanilla Muffins - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3/4 cup sugar, divided
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/4 cups halved strawberries
2 eggs
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400\u00b0; grease a 12-cup muffin pan.
Set 1 T of the sugar aside for topping.
In a big bowl, whisk together the remaining sugar, flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
In a blender or food processor, process strawberries, eggs, butter, and vanilla until just blended (it shouldn't be a smooth puree).
Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and stir until just blended.
Divide batter evenly among prepared muffin cups; sprinkle with reserved sugar.
Bake for 19-24 minutes or until a pick comes out clean.
Let cool in pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes, then transfer to the rack to cool for 5 minutes; serve warm.
