Overview

  • Air-fryer recipes produce moist strawberry muffins with Greek yogurt and white chocolate in about 35 minutes.
  • Traditional oven-baked muffins combine buttermilk, dark chocolate chips and a buttery streusel topping baked at 180 °C for 25–30 minutes.
  • Bakers can customize the base batter with variations like lemon zest for brightness or swapping white chocolate for dark or milk chocolate.
  • Fresh, ripe and undamaged berries are essential for optimal texture and should be gently folded into creamed cake batters or yeast doughs.
  • Beyond strawberries, bakers can incorporate raspberries or blueberries and finish muffins with a dollop of cream or a dusting of powdered sugar.
