Strawberry Shortcake Muffins

I make breakfast 2 times a day on weekdays & once a day on weekends.  I get up at 5:30am to make my husband some before he has to go in to work, and again a few hours later for my children & myself.  Sometimes I don’t feel like cooking a hot breakfast twice a day so, muffins have surely become a huge staple in our house, and I am always trying to come up with new & different ones.  



With strawberries being so plentiful right now, I decided I wanted to come up with a strawberry one.  But, not just your standard blueberry muffin recipe with strawberries replacing the blueberries.  I wanted something more unique than that.  


So, after a couple trial & errors – I came up with Strawberry Shortcake Muffins.  My family loves them, and I even tested them out on a few friends – and they definitely proved to be a winning recipe.  I hope that you all will enjoy them just as much as my family and friends do!
