What makes muffins light and fluffy?
There are a few key things you can do to achieve light and fluffy muffins. The first is make sure your eggs and oil are at room temperature before combining with the other ingredients. When at room temperature, it allows the batter to trap air and expand while baking. In addition to that, baking powder allows baked goods rise in the oven. When your muffins expand and rise in the oven, they come out light and fluffy!

Expert tips and FAQ’s
You can store leftover muffins in an airtight container, or a container tightly covered with plastic wrap, at room temperature for up to 4 days. I find they stay best if you line the bottom of your airtight container with paper towels and then place the muffins on top.
There are a couple of secrets to making extra moist muffins. Adding oil into the batter is guaranteed to make moist muffins but you also want to make sure you are not over-mixing your muffin batter or over-baking your muffins.
Yes! You can substitute milk chocolate chips for dark chocolate chips. Dark chocolate chips are not as sweet but they have many health benefits!
Adding more fresh fruit
If you want to add more than just fresh strawberries, you can add cherries, blueberries, and/or raspberries to this recipe. If you do choose to add extra fruit, make sure it’s chopped and then fold it in with the chocolate chips. This is a great way to use up any fruit that may be aging quickly!
What to serve with this recipe
A sweet treat pairs so well with a crispy piece of bacon in the mornings! I love making bacon in the air fryer because it’s quick and the clean-up is easy! If bacon isn’t your thing, you can pair thee fluffy muffins with a sausage breakfast casserole!
