Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups.

- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk melted butter, eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla.
- Combine: Gradually add wet ingredients to dry ingredients, mixing gently. Fold in diced strawberries.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Divide batter evenly into muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.

- Cool & Glaze: Let muffins cool for 10 minutes. If using, drizzle with glaze before serving.
Notes
