I have not had luck with homemade strawberry muffins in my past. They always turn out bland and flavorless. So, I was determined to use the overly-ripe strawberries sitting in my fridge for this specific purpose. I was bound and determined to find that perfect mix of strawberries and sweetness that brought the muffin to life. Ta-Da! Here it is! These are amazing.
