Roasted Strawberry Muffins. These breakfast treats feature roasted fresh strawberries, a mix of whole wheat and all-purpose flours, brown sugar, honey, vanilla, lemon juice, and lemon zest.

These muffins start with roasting strawberries. The stems are removed and the berries are halved lengthwise. The berries are given a quick rinse and placed in a baking dish with a little water, lemon juice, lemon zest and some sugar. The strawberry halves are tossed in the mix to ensure they are properly coated, and baked in a hot oven for about 5 minutes to soften release some juices and concentrate flavor.

Whole Muffins in Liners

I roast strawberries for a variety of reasons. Roasting concentrates the flavor in the strawberries, making them ideal for use in puree, sauces, glazes and frostings. The berries aren’t nearly as pretty as fresh strawberries but they have too many uses to not consider the technique more often than not.

These muffins are a perfect example. I make muffins with strawberry jam, fresh strawberries, roasted strawberries, or a mix of the three. Roasting the strawberries ahead of time draws out some of the natural moisture that can affect the muffin texture when baking. Once roasted, I place the berries in a strainer over a bowl to catch the roasting liquid, which is often also put to good use.

Roasted Strawberry Muffins with Powdered Sugar

The wet ingredients including the melted butter, honey, vanilla bean paste, buttermilk, Greek yogurt, and eggs are added to a small mixing bowl. They are stirred to combine.

The dry ingredients including the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and baking soda are added to a separate small mixing bowl and whisked to combine.

The wet is combined with the dry and they are folded together with a spatula to the point of being combined. The roasted strawberries are folded in. I usually reserve a few strawberries to place on the top of the batter giving each muffin some visual appeal.

The batter is divided evenly among the individual muffin tin cups and the muffins are baked in a hot oven for about half an hour. Delicious on their own, I like to serve these muffins warm with a little butter, honey, or jam.

Store muffins in an airtight container. Baked muffins can be frozen for up to a month.
