Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, chopped

Equipment

  • Muffin tin
  • paper liners or nonstick spray
  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer
  • Spatula
  • Whisk
  • Cooling rack
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, blend the softened butter and cream cheese until smooth. This will be your creamy base!
  3. Add the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until everything is combined and fluffy.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk. Stir just until combined.
  5. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries. You want those lovely bits of fruit throughout your muffins!
  6. Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full with the batter. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature!

Notes

For extra flavor, top with coarse sugar or a simple vanilla glaze before serving. Use fresh strawberries for the best texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
