These Strawberry Coffee Cake Muffins are great for breakfast or as a snack and can be ready in no time. These muffins are not only moist and delicious and bursting with flavor, but they are also so easy to make.

I made these several times with my kids. Strawberry Coffee Cake Muffins are quick, delicious and easy to make. It’s very tasty and sweet and perfect way to start your day! Soft and light coffee cake muffins are topped with a crumbly, buttery streusel overflowing as you pull them out of the oven.

They are explosions of flavor in your mouth, and the best part is you can eat them for breakfast with coffee. I’ve taken classic coffee cake and turned it into perfect little muffins with a fresh strawberries and crumble. We make a version of these muffins all the time, sometimes swapping strawberries for other fruits like blueberries, blackberries, cherries or raspberries. The batter is very simple, just flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, butter, egg, buttermilk, vanilla extract and small diced strawberries. Just before baking, we add more strawberries and then sprinkle crumble on the tops of the muffins.

These Strawberry Coffee Cake Muffins smelled incredible while baking in the oven. It was hard to resist digging in while the cooled, but I knew they be worth the wait and worth the wait they were indeed! They are moist, delicious and have bits of sweet strawberries in every bite. I will definitely be making more of these Strawberry Coffee Cake Muffins! Enjoy!

    This recipe did not work for me at all.

    After baking, the strawberries got all brown and mushy, staining the bread. The crumble just became white, ugly spots in the middle of a brownish muffin. I mean, the colors of the final product had nothing to do with the photos and I don’t know what happened. I did not overbake!

    Hope someone can give me some pointers as to why that happened. I had to use sour cream + water instead of buttermilk, so maybe that could be the problem?

    Thanks!

      Hi Ich, I’m sorry to hear that they didn’t turn out, other readers have had such great success and I’ve made them several times and they’re always delicious.
      Given your description of how they turned out, is it possible your baking powder is old. I know when I normally have sunken, mushy baked goods come out of the oven it’s usually because my leavening agent has bad.
      Buttermilk is a must! Buttermilk and other kinds of milk have different acid levels and react differently with the leavening agent and sugars used. If you don’t have buttermilk, you make a substitute yourself.
      Pour 1 cup of milk (whole or 2%) or heavy cream into a large bowl or 4 cup measuring cup.
      Use a small fresh lemon or white vinegar. Stir in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar into the bowl with the milk and whisk to combine and you have buttermilk!
      Hope that helps!

    Mine didn’t work at all. They sunk in the middles and was still uncooked after 20 mins. Had to put them back into the oven. Hopefully i can salvage them.

    These look so good but they flopped…brand new baking soda….so disappointed.
    They were for a neighbor that did me a favor.

    Strawberries created too much moisture in my muffins. Next time, I’ll try and squeeze out some of the juice from the strawberries. They were delicious, but the middles sunk in.

    Do you know if these would work with frozen strawberries?

    These turned out great. I did try to dry the strawberries as best I could before adding them to the mix. Also, mine took quite a bit longer than the recommended baking time…about 24 minutes. After that, they looked and tasted perfect!

    I want to make these ASAP.
    I don’t have buttermilk…would I be able to substitute it with plain whole milk greek yogurt?
    Also, I’m using fresh berries…do I need to dry them somehow?
    Thanks!

      Hi Ashley,

      Yes, you can use plain whole-milk Greek yogurt and fresh berries. Naturally, taste and texture will be a little bit diferent.

    Unfortunately they took a lot longer in the oven . And the crumbles kind of melted on top.
