Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients
  • 3/4 cup milk (at room temperature)
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and cooled briefly)
  • 2 medium eggs (at room temperature, beaten)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
Dry Ingredients
  • 2 1/8 cups all-purpose gluten-free flour blend
  • 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Fruits and Toppings
  • 1 1/4 cups hulled and chopped fresh strawberries
  • 2 medium strawberries (for topping, optional)
  • Coarse sugar (for sprinkling, optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
  2. Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with grease-proof muffin liners and give them a little spray with cooking oil.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Mix until just combined (no need for overmixing!).
  6. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries.
Baking
  1. Fill the muffin tin wells completely with batter.
  2. Top with extra chopped strawberries and sprinkle with coarse sugar if you're feeling fancy.
  3. Bake for about 25 minutes or until golden brown and a tester comes out clean.
  4. Let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For the best texture, ensure your eggs and milk are at room temperature. Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean. You can also try adding lemon or orange zest for a zesty flavor!
