Strawberry Muffin Bars Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) oil an 8 cup muffin tin, or use paper liners.
• In a small bowl, combine oil, milk, and egg. Beat lightly. In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, baking powder and sugar. Toss in chopped strawberries and stir to coat with flour. Pour in milk mixture and stir together.
• Fill muffin cups. Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 25 minutes, or until the tops bounce back from the touch. Cool 10 minutes and remove from pans.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line muffin tins with paper liners.
• Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon together in a large bowl. Stir with your hand to be sure the ingredients are combined. In a 2-cup glass measure, combine the milk, eggs, and melted butter. Make a well in the middle of the dry mixture, pour the wet mixture into the well, and stir until just combined. There will be some lumps but don't overmix the batter! Add the strawberries and sugar and stir gently to combine.
• Using a 2 1/4-inch ice cream scoop, spoon the batter into the muffin cups to fill the liners. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until a cake tester comes out clean and the tops are nicely browned.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees and line a standard muffin tin with paper liners. (If not using a nonstick pan, spray the exposed metal with nonstick cooking spray.)
• Combine the strawberries and rhubarb in a medium bowl. Add 1 tablespoon sugar; toss and set aside. Place the rest of the sugar (1 cup plus 3 tablespoons), along with the melted butter and eggs, in a large bowl. Whisk vigorously for about 30 seconds, until the yolks are pale and the mixture is smooth and glossy. Add the sour cream, vanilla and lemon zest, and whisk just until smooth.
• In another medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, baking soda and cinnamon. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. (Be careful not to overmix.)
• Transfer the fruit mixture to a strainer set over a bowl or the sink. Toss with a spoon, allowing any excess liquid to drain. (The amount will vary depending on the ripeness of the berries.) Discard the liquid and add the fruit to the batter, folding it in until just combined.
• Using an ice cream scoop or large spoon, divide the batter among the 12 muffin cups. (The cups will be very full and slightly heaping.) Sprinkle the tops with the Demerara sugar and bake for 18 to 23 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean and the muffins spring back when lightly pressed.
• Let the muffins cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then carefully transfer them to a rack to cool completely. The muffin tops may spread into each other slightly as they bake; simply cut the tops apart with a paring knife when the muffins come out of the oven and immediately run the knife very gently under the edges of the muffin tops to release them from the pan, being careful not to separate them from the bottoms.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
• In a small bowl mix together one pkg muffin mix and 1/4 cup butter until mixture is crumbly.
• Spray a 9inch square pan with non stick cooking spray and then wipe out with a paper towel.
• Press mixture into the bottom of the pan.
• (I do this pan pouring mixture into pan, placing a piece of wax paper over it and using my fingers to press it down, then remove wax paper.).
• Next spread out preserves over the muffin mixture. ( I also use to waxed paper to spread this out.).
• In the same bowl as used before, mix together the second pkg of muffin mix and the remaining 1/4 cup butter until crumbly.
• Pour this on top of the preserves and spread out. Do not pack this down like the bottom layer. You want it totally covering the preserves but not packed tight.
• Place in the oven and bake 25-30 minutes or until the top begins to brown.
• Remove from oven and cool completely before cutting.
• If you like you can sprinkle a small amount of powdered sugar on just before serving.
• ** If the strawberry preserves are too sweet, replace them with sugar free preserves or an all fruit spread.
• *** You can make this with any combo of muffin mix and filling. Apple Cinnamon Muffin Mix and Apple Jelly. Blueberry Muffin Mix and Grape Jelly. They all work great! Just use your imagination!
