Glazed Strawberry Muffins

Don’t you just love this time of the year when everything is pink and red?!  It’s just so pretty!   Makes me happy… especially these pink muffins.

Before making these I actually never had strawberries in muffins but it’s actually quite tasty.  As in I ate 3 the first day!  One without glaze right when it came out of the oven (oh my gosh it just smelled so irresistibly good).  Then I had to eat one after glazing/during the photo shoot.  And finally, I had to split one open for a photo and I tried to pawn it off on Carly but she wouldn’t take it and you know how parents are with eating their kids leftovers.

Ingredients
For the Muffins:

• 3 cups flour
• 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 10 tablespoons butter room temperature
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1/4 cup buttermilk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1 1/2 cup strawberries diced

For the Glaze:

• 1 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 2-3 tablespoons milk
• 1 tablespoon strawberry jam
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line muffin tins with 16 paper liners or grease with cooking spray.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
3. Combine the milk, buttermilk, and vanilla together and set aside.
4. In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a standing mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 1 minute). Add one egg at a time, mixing thoroughly after each. Switch to using a wooden spoon or a spatula and alternate between adding the flour mixture and milk mixture in 3 batches to the creamed butter mixture. Mix after each addition until almost combined. Gently fold in the strawberries.
