This recipe is one of those that came to me in a fun way. Years ago when Facebook first became popular an old high school friend was working as a nanny and shared that she had made these with her kids.

They looked amazing so I promptly asked for the recipe. Over the years I’ve tweaked it a bit, I added coconut oil, a bit more chopped strawberries, and changed them from the original mini muffins to regular sized muffins.

The result is these delicious strawberry lemonade muffins that quickly became one of our favorite recipes!

These are great to make in the summer with fresh juicy strawberries, but they’re also amazing to whip up during the cooler months for a taste of sunshine! The sweet strawberry flavor and zing of lemon are just an amazing combination!

Can I use bottled lemon juice?

Yes, I love to use fresh lemon juice for this recipe but you can use the kind from a bottle, or one of those little plastic lemons!

Can I use frozen strawberries?

I love recipes where I can use fresh or frozen fruit especially when they are out of season. In this recipe your strawberries need to be finely chopped so using frozen berries is more difficult. If you don’t have fresh strawberries for this recipe frozen will do! You’ll have to thaw them beforehand chop them and make sure there isn’t a lot of excess juice or water in them. Fresh berries are always the best but if you only have frozen they’ll still result in a delicious muffin!

How to add more lemon flavor –

I know that some people like a lot of lemon flavor and lemon juice isn’t quite enough. If you like the tartness of lemon you can dial it up in these strawberry lemon muffins a couple of ways. First you can add about a tablespoon lemon zest or a teaspoon of lemon extract. Both of these are a perfect addition and will dial up the lemon and be delicious!

Here’s how to make these Strawberry Lemonade Muffins

First get your oven pre-heating to 375 and line your muffin tin with paper liners or spray with cooking spray.

In a large bowl with an electric mixer cream together your sugar & coconut oil. Add in the eggs and mix well. 

Combine flour, baking soda, baking power, and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk or sift your dry ingredients together until well blended.

Add your flour mixture and vanilla in with your wet ingredients and mix until well incorporated

Gradually pour in your lemon juice. Once everything is well mixed gently fold in your strawberries.

Scoop your batter into your prepared muffin tin cup, fill them about 3/4 full.

Place in your preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. They turn a little golden brown around the edges when they are done and a toothpick stuck in the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Allow to cool & enjoy! Enjoy your fresh strawberry lemonade muffins with a cup of coffee!
