Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

• 1.75 cups all-purpose flour

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.

Step 2

Combine strawberries and ½ cup sugar in a small bowl; set aside for 1 hour. Drain; reserve liquid and berries separately.

Step 3

Beat butter and remaining ¼ cup sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy; beat in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract. Combine flour, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg in a bowl; stir into egg mixture, alternating with berry juice. Gently stir in berries until evenly distributed. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly touched, 18 to 20 minutes. Cool muffins in the tin on a wire rack.
