At the beginning of the summer, I started working on a strawberry muffin recipe. I wanted them to be moist and fluffy with a fresh strawberry flavor. So here we are today, pounds of strawberries and dozens of muffins later, we have Strawberry Chocolate Chip Muffins.

For the bright and fresh strawberry flavor, we use fresh strawberry puree and it gives them a pretty pink color too! I also added buttermilk to keep them light and fluffy. Then to send the muffins over the top I added some mini chocolate chips because they make everything better.

These muffins have a slight pink color from the strawberries, but if you want a bolder pink color you can add a couple drops of red food coloring.
