It’s a Boy! A beautiful, healthy, baby boy!

No, it’s not mine. This new miracle belongs to my sweet friend Stephanie of Back for Seconds. I’m so happy for her and this newest addition to her family.

Just like any new mama, that precious new bundle becomes the center of attention. Friends and family drop by. If it happens, like it does here in the south, no one shows up empty handed. Possibly, a gift for the baby, but always there’s food in hand.

No one wants to spend time in the kitchen when there’s a baby to love on and adore. I know I never did. Everyone still needs to eat. Casseroles, soups, cakes, cookies. Always something for everyone. I’ve always been partial to supplying the sweet side of things.

 Dorothy of Crazy for Crust had a great idea to do a virtual Baby Shower for Stephanie. I know Stephanie has a sweet tooth. She makes things like 3 ingredient Kit Kats, Frozen Peanut Butter Mochas, and a Nutella Oreo Cheesecake Skillet Cookie that will blow your mind (and make you drool!)

I decided, if this were a real shower, I want to bring something versatile, something everyone could enjoy. Something that could be saved for later if needed, even frozen.

These Strawberry Butter Streusel Muffins met all the requirements. Great for breakfast or a snack. Sweet but not too sweet. The streusel on top give these the best butter taste in every bite. And of course the strawberries. You just have to love a strawberry muffin. At least in my house you do, so good!

    Yum, I made your chocolate chip muffins and double chocolate chip ones this afternoon! They are so good. Just might have to make the strawberry ones too because the others won’t last long!! 🙂

    These look SO good! Now I have to go out and buy some strawberries. How many muffins does this recipe make?

    We have a strawberry farm just down the street and they grow the most amazingly sweet strawberries ever! I can’t wait for them to open so I can make these!

    Hello! I just made these, assuming it was for a batch of 12 regular size. Was it supposed to be enough batter for 24? I have lots of left over streusel. Can’t wait to taste them! Thanks!

      The recipe will make 12-14 muffins, you want to go heavy on the streusel but if you have some leftover, it keeps well in the fridge for up to 2 weeks and you could us it on top of a baked french toast or any other favorite fruit muffin.

    No fresh strawberries available – I’m guessing that this might work well with some frozen blueberries though (thawed and drained?)

      Your muffins will still taste delicious but depending on how juicy your strawberries are, they may run a bit and smear your batter with the juice.
