- 2 cups white sugar
- 1 3/4 cups pureed strawberries
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups self-rising flour
- 3 drops red food coloring, or as needed (optional)
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease 24 muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners.
- Beat sugar, pureed strawberries, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract in a bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Add flour, mixing until just incorporated. Stir food coloring into strawberry batter until color is even. Divide batter into prepared muffin cups.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
