Strawberry Cupcakes

My phone rings, well vibrates, today at lab, of course while I'm pipetting my radioactive samples into the gel. I check a few minutes later and it's Ina. I listen to the voicemail and all back excitedly!

Ina: Hey, I'm at Stanley's. They have strawberries for 49 cents a pound!
Me: Ooooh!
Ina: Do you want any?
Me: Yes please! 2 pounds!
*hangs up*
Lili: You get...berries?

And so...(after some googling)

Fresh Strawberry Cupcakes

1 3/4 c all-purpose flour
1 t baking soda
1 c sugar
1/2 c chopped walnuts
2 eggs
1/2 c vegetable oil
1/2 t vanilla extract
1 cup (10 oz) crushed fresh strawberries mixed with 3 T sugar

Mix together flour, baking soda, sugar and nuts in a bowl. In another bowl, beat together eggs, flavoring and oil until well blended. Add strawberries and beat at slow speed of mixer until berries are partially broken. Beat in flour mixture slowly until smooth, but pieces of berries are still visible. Pour batter into greased muffin tins, filling to half.

Bake at 350 deg F for 30 minutes, or until they test done. Sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired.

Makes 24

Mike will probably help make this instead: Berries, Mozarella, and Mint
