Yum to that flavor combination! Strawberries are my favorite fruit and that lemon must really lighten the whole thing up!
Thanks, Shelby! 🙂
Lately, you’ve totally got me in a muffin kind of mood, Marsha. 🙂 First it started with your incredible chocolate banana muffins and now it’s even bigger with your gorgeous strawberry lemon muffins! Just looking at these makes me feel happy and so excited about Spring! Pinned, of course. Hope you have an awesome weekend! xo
Thanks, Demeter! 🙂 xo
Thanks for this recipe. Can I bake this cupcakes without strawberries? Will they still be good? Thanks for your reply))
Of course! You can replace them, or leave them out completely. The muffins will still taste great 🙂
No lemon maybe lemon extract!?
Replace the juice with 1 – 2 teaspoons of lemon extract! 🙂
