1 ½ teaspoonbaking powder

1 teaspoonbaking soda

½ teaspoonsalt

1 ½ cupstrawberries

turbinado sugar

optional, coarse, for sprinkling on tops

Instructions

Step 1

Melt the butter so it has time to cool before mixing with the other ingredients. Line standard-size muffin cups with paper liners or grease with nonstick cooking spray. The oven preheats later while the muffin batter rests. (This allows time for the gluten-free starches to soften and hydrate with the liquids.)

Step 2

In a large bowl whisk together the cooled butter, sugar, yogurt or sour cream, eggs, and vanilla.

Step 3

Stir in the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until no flour pockets remain. The batter will be thick. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries until evenly distributed.

Step 4

Preheat the oven to 350°F. While the oven is preheating, use a large trigger scoopto distribute the batter between the muffin cups. Use slightly wet fingers to pat down the tops evenly. If desired, gently press in additional chopped strawberries on top. Sprinkle on optional turbinado sugar.

Step 5

Bake for 20-22 minutes, rotating pan halfway through baking. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the muffin pan for 5 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
