Fresh Strawberry Muffins

* This post is part of our April Top 5. Check out the rest of the top 5 here.

I have been wanting to share this recipe with you for several weeks, so I keep going to Costco and buying strawberries (they've had amazing strawberries lately!), but the strawberries are so delicious I end up eating them all before I have a chance to make muffins! What can I say, I'm indulging my pregnancy cravings!
These muffins are delicious, easy to make, and you can even feel pretty good about eating them, since they've got fruit in them, and they also have a lot of cinnamon, which is really good for you!

3 cups flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
4 tsp. cinnamon
3 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
2 eggs
1 1/4 cups milk
1 cup butter, melted
2 cups chopped fresh strawberries

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare (by greasing muffin cups or putting paper liners in) 24 muffin cups.

In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients.

In a second bowl, melt butter in microwave (approximately 30-60 seconds, stirring every 15-20 seconds). Into the butter, beat eggs and milk. Stir butter mixture into the dry ingredients until it is just moistened. Then fold in the strawberries.

Pour into prepared muffin cups. Bake 18-20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffins comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan.
