Essential Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:
Fresh Strawberries: Use ripe, juicy strawberries for maximum sweetness; they’re the star ingredient here.
All-Purpose Flour: This is your go-to flour for creating that perfect muffin texture.
Sugar: Granulated sugar adds sweetness while brown sugar in the streusel gives it depth.
Baking Powder: Essential for those lovely, fluffy muffins that rise beautifully in the oven.
Unsalted Butter: Always use unsalted butter for baking; it allows better control over saltiness.
Eggs: One large egg binds everything together and adds richness to your muffins.
Milk: Whole milk makes these muffins moist and tender; no one likes dry muffins!
Cinnamon: A dash of cinnamon enhances flavor; it’s like a warm hug in every bite.
Vanilla Extract: Pure vanilla extract elevates all the flavors—don’t skip it!

Let’s Make it Together
Preheat and Prepare Your Pans: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or spray with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Make the Streusel Topping: In a bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon. Mix until crumbly—this should remind you of sandy beaches, but tastier!
Prepare the Muffin Batter: In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt. In another mixing bowl, combine milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients gently—fold until just combined. You want lumps; they’re part of what makes it tasty!
Add Strawberries to Batter: Gently fold in chopped strawberries into the batter until evenly distributed without squishing them too much—nobody wants mushy strawberries.
Fill Muffin Tin & Add Topping**: Spoon batter into muffin cups until they’re about two-thirds full. Sprinkle generous amounts of streusel on top—make it rain crumbs!
Bake to Perfection**: Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean—your kitchen should smell heavenly by now!
Now that you’ve baked these delightful Strawberry Streusel Cobbler Muffins from scratch and filled your home with their tantalizing aroma, it’s time to enjoy! Pair them with your favorite beverage or serve them at brunch for some serious “wow” factor. Enjoy every last crumb!
