Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour The foundation of our muffins, giving them that perfect texture.
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar Just the right amount of sweetness to balance the tanginess of the cream cheese.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder Gives the muffins that lovely lift.
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda Works with the cream cheese to create a perfect rise.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt Enhances all the flavors beautifully.
Wet Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese softened, makes these muffins irresistibly rich and creamy!
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted, adds moisture and a lovely buttery flavor.
  • 2 large eggs helps bind everything together for a fluffy texture.
  • 1/2 cup milk brings everything together and keeps the muffins moist.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract adds warmth and depth of flavor.
Fruits
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries chopped, brings a burst of flavor to every bite.

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Muffin Tin
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). If you love a good muffin liner, go ahead and line your muffin tin or grease the cups for easy removal.
  2. Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Give it a little whisk and set aside.
  3. Step 3: In another bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  4. Step 4: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined—trust me, don’t overmix!
  5. Step 5: Fold in those gorgeous chopped strawberries, making sure to distribute them throughout the batter.
  6. Step 6: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. This allows room for rising!
  7. Step 7: Bake in your preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Step 8: Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

To keep your muffins fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze them for up to a month. Just make sure to wrap them well to prevent freezer burn!
