# How To Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and lemon zest until thoroughly blended.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, whole milk, Greek yogurt or sour cream, vegetable oil or melted butter, fresh lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth.
04 - Gently stir wet ingredients into the dry mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure tender muffins.
05 - Carefully fold diced strawberries into the batter, distributing evenly.
06 - Divide batter equally among muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
07 - Let muffins rest in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
08 - For the glaze, whisk powdered sugar, 2 to 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest in a bowl until smooth and pourable. Adjust with extra lemon juice or sugar if needed.
09 - Drizzle glaze over fully cooled muffins just before serving.
