  • 170 grams cream cheese
  • 30 grams granulated sugar

Muffin Batter

  • 235 grams all-purpose flour dip and sweep
  • 2.5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 105 grams granulated sugar
  • 115 grams unsalted butter, melted
  • 120 grams milk, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 180 grams strawberries, chopped into small pieces

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line 12 non-stick standard paper liners into a regular size muffin pan and set aside.

Crumbles

  • Put the flour and sugar in a small-medium bowl and stir with a fork. Pour the melted butter on top and stir until the mixture forms crumbles.
  • If you are working in a hot environment, you can keep the mixture in the fridge to keep the butter cold.

Cream Cheese Filling

  • Place cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl and stir with a spoon until completely combined. Set aside the bowl.

Muffin Batter

  • Place the flour and baking powder in a medium bowl and stir with a whisk. Set aside.
  • Put the eggs and sugar into a medium bowl and whisk for almost 20 seconds until combined well. Mix in the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract.
  • Pour the mixture over the flour mixture and stir with a whisk. If you see just a little flour that’s fine.
  • Fold the strawberries with a spoon.

Assemble

  • Set aside 6 tablespoons of muffin batter that you will use later.
  • Divide the muffin batter into 12 muffin cup tins. It is almost 2 and ½ tablespoons per cup.
  • Using a spoon, by spreading the batter to the sides make a hole in the middle. Fill 2 teaspoons of cream cheese filling into the hole you just created and gently press to the filling.
  • Add ½ tablespoon of batter on top of cream cheese mixture and spread it with a spoon.
  • Add the crumbles on top.
  • Bake for almost 22 minutes or until the muffins look golden brown and the crumbles are lightly brown.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for 10 minutes and then gently remove them from the pan with a small spatula or a knife and let them cool for at least 25 minutes on a wire rack.

Notes

You can store these muffins in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
