½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a 12-cup muffin tin with papers.
Stir the streusel ingredients together in a small bowl. Place the bowl in the fridge to chill while you make the batter.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
In a small container such as a liquid measuring cup, stir together the milk, oil, lemon juice and vanilla.
Pour the milk mixture into the bowl with the flour mixture. Stir just until the batter is fully blended, being careful to avoid overmixing it.
Fold in the strawberries.
Divide the batter among the muffin cups, then sprinkle each muffin with some the streusel topping.
Place the muffins into the oven to bake and set the timer for 8 minutes. After 8 minutes, turn the oven temperature down to 350°F and bake the muffins for about 14 to 16 minutes more (22 to 24 minutes total), until the tops are lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Place the muffin tin on a cooling rack and let the muffins cool in the tin until they're just warm.

Notes

Buy a pound/pint of fresh strawberries and you'll slightly more than enough. This will give you wiggle room to dispose of any bad berries.
