Take my favourite chocolate chip muffin recipe, swap the chocolate chips for chopped strawberries, top with cinnamon streusel, and you have yourself these incredibly delicious Strawberry Crumb Muffins! 

If you like to treat yourself at breakfast time, you’re gonna fall in love with these muffins.

They’re loaded with freshly chopped strawberries that pair wonderfully with the cinnamon-spiced, buttery streusel topping.

What more could you ask for in the morning? 🙂

Ingredients you’ll need

Here’s a list of ingredients you’ll need to make these muffins. You can find my recipe card at the bottom of this post for the complete list with their amounts.

  • plain/all-purpose flour
  • caster/granulated sugar
  • baking powder
  • baking soda
  • salt
  • large eggs
  • vegetable oil
  • greek-style yogurt
  • vanilla extract
  • strawberries

For the streusel topping, you’ll need:

  • plain/all-purpose flour
  • light brown sugar
  • ground cinnamon
  • unsalted butter

How to make Strawberry Crumb Muffins

To make the streusel topping, whisk together the flour, sugar, and cinnamon. Add in the melted butter, and stir with a fork until combined.

This streusel recipe creates big, chunky crumbs – I love them!

To make the muffins, simply whisk together all of the dry ingredients in one bowl, and all of the wet ingredients in another bowl.

Combine the two mixtures together, then gently fold in the chopped strawberries.

Spoon the muffin batter into a greased muffin pan, top with the cinnamon streusel, and bake for 15 – 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.

Allow to cool completely, or devour one while it’s still warm. Your choice. 😉

The printable recipe card with the FULL list of ingredients and instructions can be found at the bottom of this post.

NOTE: For best results, I highly recommend using the gram measurements (with a digital scale), rather than the cup measurements.

Cup measurements are simply not accurate enough, and I cannot guarantee the best results if you use them.

Great for busy mornings, and on-the-go snacks!

Love freshly baked muffins? Simply pop a muffin or two in the microwave for a few seconds to enjoy them warm – like they’ve just come out of the oven. SO good.
