1-How to Prepare the Perfect Strawberry Muffins: Step-by-Step Guide: Getting strawberry muffins right starts with a clear plan, and this guide walks you through each part. Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F and lining a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners, then spray with non-stick cooking spray for easy cleanup. This step ensures your muffins bake evenly and release without sticking.

2- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, baking powder, and salt to create the dry base. Next, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar for about 2 minutes until light and fluffy, then add eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla and almond extracts for added depth.

3- With your mixer on low, add the flour mixture in three parts, alternating with the milk, and end with the flour to keep the batter smooth. Toss the diced strawberries with the remaining 2 teaspoons of flour to prevent sinking, set aside 1/2 cup for topping, and gently fold the rest into the batter without overmixing.

4- Scoop the batter into the muffin cups, filling them completely.

5- Scatter the reserved strawberries on top and sprinkle with turbinado sugar, avoiding the edges to prevent sticking.

6- Bake for about 30 minutes until golden and a tester comes out clean, then cool in the pan for 25 minutes before transferring to a rack.
