Honey Strawberry Muffins with Fresh Berries

Honey Strawberry Muffins are tender, lightly sweet, and filled with fresh berries and strawberry jam. Honey brings gentle sweetness, while lemon zest keeps the flavor bright. A blend of all-purpose and whole wheat flour gives these muffins satisfying texture, and Greek yogurt helps keep the crumb soft. The batter comes together quickly for breakfast, brunch, or a warm afternoon treat.

How to Make Honey Strawberry Muffins

Prepare 18 muffins with 10 minutes of prep and about 25 minutes baking time.

• 1/2 cup salted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup runny honey
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup whole milk or buttermilk
• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 2 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
• 1/2 cup high quality strawberry jam
• 2 teaspoons lemon zest

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat 18 muffin tins with nonstick spray. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, vanilla, buttermilk, Greek yogurt, and eggs until smooth. Add the flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and baking soda, and mix until just combined. In a small bowl, stir together the strawberries, jam, and lemon zest. Gently fold the berries into the batter, being careful not to over mix, you are going for a swirled look. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin tins. Transfer to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature with butter.

Serving, Storage, and Tips

Serve warm or at room temperature with butter. Fold gently to preserve the swirl. Optional variation: use buttermilk for a tangier batter. Keep cooled muffins covered for short-term serving or freeze them well wrapped, then thaw and warm gently.
