# How To Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners or grease lightly.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and lemon zest until evenly distributed.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, milk, yogurt or sour cream, vegetable oil or melted butter, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth.
04 - Pour wet ingredients into the dry mixture and fold gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to prevent tough muffins.
05 - Fold in the diced fresh strawberries delicately to ensure even distribution without crushing the fruit.
06 - Divide batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each approximately three-quarters full.
07 - Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin emerges clean.
08 - Allow muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool fully.
09 - In a small bowl, whisk powdered sugar, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth and pourable. Add more lemon juice or sugar to adjust consistency, if needed.
10 - Drizzle lemon glaze over cooled muffins before serving for optimal flavor and texture.
