Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

For an extra burst of citrus aroma, add 1/2 tsp of lemon zest to the batter. If using frozen strawberries, no need to thaw—fold them in directly to preserve texture. For a heartier muffin, substitute half the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a nuttier flavor and denser texture.
