===== Directions =====
  -     Preheat oven to 375F. Prepare a 12 tin muffin tin by spraying with baking spray or lining with cupcake papers.
    -   Prepare basil sugar by combining the fresh basil and granulated white sugar in a food processor. Pulse together until there are no large pieces of basil remaining. Set aside.
  -     Combine flour, baking powder, salt, and basil sugar in a medium bowl and whisk to combine.
  -     In a large bowl, mix milk, egg, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil. Add dry ingredient mixture, and stir until combined.
  -     Sprinkle 1 tablespoon flour over the diced strawberries, and toss until strawberries are coated.
  -     Gently fold the strawberries and lemon zest into the batter.
  -     Evenly divide the batter among the muffin tin.
  -     Bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  -     Let cool for 5 minutes in the pan, and then place muffins on a rack to cool completely.
