These pink strawberry muffins make for a quick, on-the-go breakfast or a dessert. These easy muffins feature fresh strawberries and a hint of cinnamon-sugar.

Ingredients

3/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 egg
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups chopped strawberries
3 teaspoons white sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
2 Beat 3/4 cup sugar and butter with an electric mixer in a bowl until creamy. Beat in egg; mix well.
3 Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together in a small bowl. Add flour mixture and milk alternately to butter mixture until combined. Stir in vanilla extract, then gently stir in strawberries.
