Strawberry Muffins

During the weekend, we had a planned family potluck because one of my cousins came back from Toronto, ON for a short visit. I made chocolate dipped strawberries. The chocolate melted during the car ride to my aunt's house. Horrible! I forgot about the "somewhat" long commute from where I live. And then the last minute, I was thinking I should've brought plain strawberries instead (or did some baking out of it).

Since I didn't want to waste the strawberries, I made strawberry muffins from the leftovers that night. It's the first time I've ever made strawberry muffins (and a long time since I've done some baking). I had some for breakfast this morning and it wasn't too bad. It was nice and moist and sweet. It's not perfect, but I'll try making this again when I get a chance.
