Strawberry Muffins

I want to share with you all a sweet story that happened 5 years ago. I was pregnant with Thaara, then I suddenly started craving for strawberries a lot. At that time, it was not at all available in any store in Coimbatore.I know it was rare to get(I have had it once or twice only before that) but not that none of them will have it. Dad had inquired in almost all the shops there. The only response was if we get stock will let you know. I was so disappointed, you all know right, how a pregnant woman feels when she wants something to eat and didn't get it. Then one day my brother surprised me with a box of strawberries. My brother had asked his friend from Ooty to get it,(since it was available there at that time) and send it across. I was so delighted to get it, like I won a lottery. I was really touched that my little brother got me what I wanted to make me happy. So thoughtful of him!! So whenever I see strawberries, I always think about this. Thaara loves strawberries a lot. In whatever form I give her, she is ready to have it. Now you all know what this is all about. Yes!! A recipe with strawberries.. Strawberry Muffins.. 
As I was browsing for recipes for Strawberry Muffins, I came across this recipe from, Butter Yum . I tried this and the result was awesome. A wonderful, soft and moist muffins.
