Cabot's Strawberry Oat Muffins made with Extra Creamy Premium Unsalted Butter are a perfect start to the day, whether heading to school or the office, or as part of a lovely brunch table. The three components of the recipe include the muffins, the oat streusel topping and an optional sugar glaze.
After turning on the oven to preheat, line a muffin tin with 8 muffin liners. Then make the oat streusel topping combining all of the topping ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
Then make the muffin batter by combining the milk and lemon juice to make "buttermilk". Combine the dry ingredients in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Whisk the eggs and sugar together in a separate bowl and then add the buttermilk, melted butter and vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract) and mix well. Fold in the dry ingredients and mix gently until fully combined. Gently fold in the strawberries. Fill each baking cup with batter until full and sprinkle the oat streusel evenly on top of each muffin cup. Bake 30-35 minutes until a a toothpick comes out clean when inserted to the center of the muffin. Remove from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 10 minutes before removing.
If you're in for a final extra touch make the optional glaze topping by mixing milk into the the confectioners sugar slowly until desired consistency and drizzle over muffins. Serve the muffins warm with a cup of coffee or tea for a cozy breakfast or afternoon treat. Whether it's just you and a cozy book, or as part of a festive brunch table these make a perfect muffin option.
