How to Make Crumb Cake Strawberry Muffins
Firstly, start off by preheating your oven to 400f and then line the muffin molds with paper liners.
In an electric mixer bowl, add all the dry ingredients and mix well on a low speed.
Now make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add all the wet ingredients. Mix on the lowest speed until the muffin batter is well combined and thick in appearance.
With the aid of a piping bag and a large plain nozzle, fill the prepared muffin paper liners, about 2/3 of the way full with the muffin batter and push in some cut strawberries.
Put to one side while we make the crumb cake topping to put on top.
In a separate bowl, mix flour and brown sugar together. Add soft butter and work together with your hands until medium-sized crumbs have been formed.
Generously sprinkle crumbs into each muffin, pressing the crumbs down lightly into the batter.
Bake the muffins for approximately 16-18 minutes, or until muffins are just golden brown and a skewer comes out completely clean.
Allow the muffins to cool, for a while, before decorating with the glaze.
To make the glaze, mix the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk together.
Now for the fun bit, drizzle the glaze over the Strawberry Crumb Cake Muffins and serve.
