Here are the two recipes I made! They were both yummy!
STRAWBERRY SMASH MUFFINS:
1 2/3 cups fresh strawberries, rinsed and stems removed
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line 12 cup muffin tin with liners or grease cups. Smash the strawberries in a large bowl with a fork. Stir in sugar, oil and eggs and mix well. Add flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon and mix until moistened. Spoon batter into muffin cups. Bake for 15 minutes, or until muffins are light golden brown.
BLUEBERRY LEMON BREAD:
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries, rinsed
1 teaspoon lemon juice (for blueberries)
1 teaspoon sugar (for blueberries)
1 tablespoon flour (for blueberries)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup butter (1 stick), melted
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon lemon extract (optional, but adds a nice punch of lemon)
1/2 cup whole milk
For the glaze: (I halved this, and it was plenty)
1 cup powdered sugar
3 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare loaf pan. Put blueberries in a small bowl and add 1 tablespoon each of lemon juice, sugar and flour. Give a good toss and set aside.
In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk sugar and eggs until blended. Gradually mix in melted butter, followed by the lemon juice, lemon zest, and lemon extract.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating adding the milk in as well, mix until well blended.
Stir half the blueberries into the batter and quickly pour into loaf pan. Gently spread the rest of the blueberries on top of the batter and place in the oven. Bake 50-60 minutes or until done. Remove from oven and cool for 30 minutes.
Make the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, melted butter and lemon juice. Pour over cooled loaf and let it set up. Enjoy!
