True or false\u2026 we\u2019ve all reached our limit on banana bread? I know\u2026 I never thought the day would come but it has!! So while we\u2019re still all living that quarantine life, let\u2019s make something new and something summery with pantry staples!! Strawberry Muffins with Walnut Streusel!!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You know I love adding CA Walnuts into my Mezze Boards<\/a> and into my Sticky Buns<\/a> and into pasta<\/a>\u2026 but today they are front and center IN these muffins and on top. The California Walnuts get mixed into the very easy batter and then made into a simple streusel to go on top. It is EVERYTHING! Hands down these are one of the most versatile kitchen staples in my life!!! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ok let\u2019s get into these shall we? The muffin base is simple – all staples in the kitchen, nothing hard to find! If strawberries aren\u2019t quite at their peak by you, you can use any other berry! Blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, cherries, you name it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The batter will be thick before you bake – NOT TO FEAR! That\u2019s the goal.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s talk walnut streusel!! You can buy the walnuts in halves or pieces! If you use halves, you\u2019ll need to give them a rough chop before using since you want the streusel to stay on top of the muffin and not sink down!! The walnuts are combined with brown sugar, obviously a match made in heaven. Flour, duh. Lemon, to give you a little zip that you never knew you were missing! And salt to make all the flavors really pop and come to life!! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
