Strawberry muffins


Adopted this recipe from Martha Stewart's website. My 2 yrs old love these muffins.
Ingredients:
  • Strawberry Puree : 2/3 cup ( approximately 6-8 strawberry)
  • All purpose flour: 1 1/2 cup
  • Whole milk: 1/4th cup
  • Butter : 1/2 cup( 1 stick)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 large egg whites
  • Pure Vanilla Extract : 1 tsp
  • Baking soda : 1/2 tsp
  • Baking Powder : 1 tsp
  • Sugar: 1 cup
  • Salt : 1/4th tsp
Procedure:
  • Preheat oven at 350F.Line in 12 -cup muffin pan with cup cake liners.
  • Puree 6-8 strawberries in a food processor.
  • Mix together flour, soda, baking powder, salt and sift it.
  • In a small bowl mix milk, vanilla extract, strawberry puree and keep aside.
  • In another bowl soften the butter .I have used hand blender to do it. Once it is fluffy, add sugar and give a quick mix.Then add egg and egg whites one after the other and give a quick mix.
  • Now add half of flour mix and give a mix.Add milk mixture .Mix until it is just blended.Then add remaining flour and mix well.
  • Divide the batter evenly among lined muffin cups. Bake for 15-20 min or until skewer comes out clean.
Cool them and enjoy!!!!
