Ingredients
  

For the Muffins
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries chopped
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup milk

Equipment

  • Muffin Tin
  • Medium Bowl
  • Large Bowl
  • Ice Cream Scoop

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or give it a light greasing.
  2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set this aside for now.
  3. Step 3: In a large bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. Then, add in the granulated sugar and mix until well combined.
  4. Step 4: Add the egg and vanilla extract to your cream cheese mixture, and mix until everything is smooth and well incorporated.
  5. Step 5: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined—don’t overdo it!
  6. Step 6: Gently fold in the chopped strawberries.
  7. Step 7: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
  8. Step 8: Bake in your preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Step 9: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
