  • Measure flour by spooning into the cup and leveling it. Do not pack the flour.
  • Fill muffin cups about 3/4 full for a good dome.
  • Check muffins at 18 minutes and add time if needed; ovens vary.

variation (if any)

  • Swap white chocolate chips for dark or milk chocolate chips.
  • Replace 1/2 cup of strawberries with raspberries for a tart twist.
  • Add 1/2 tsp lemon zest for bright flavor.
  • Use yogurt instead of sour cream for a lighter texture.

FAQs

Q: Can I use frozen strawberries?

Q: Can I reduce the sugar?
A: You can lower the white sugar slightly, but brown sugar adds moisture and flavor. Cut small amounts carefully.

Q: How do I know muffins are done?
A: A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Tops should be lightly browned.
