Cream Cheese Filling
- 170 grams (6 oz) cream cheese
- 30 grams (2 tablespoons) granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Muffin Batter
- 235 grams (1 and ⅔ cups) all-purpose flour, dip and sweep
- 2 and ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 105 grams (½ cup) granulated sugar
- 115 grams (½ cup) unsalted butter, melted*
- 120 grams (½ cup) milk, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 180 grams (1 cup) strawberries, chopped into small pieces
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, 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 tin. 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. This muffin batter is not too thick, so don't excpect to make an evident hole. Fill 2 teaspoons of cream cheese filling into the hole you just created and gently press to the filling.
Time to use the batter you set aside: 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 (the batter part) 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.
*As always, I halfway melt the butter both for the muffin batter and crumbles at the same time in a small pan. Once I remove it from the stove, I stir and it completely melts. Melting the butter halfway helps the butter cool fast.
**I place the strawberries on a paper towel to remove any excess liquid.
How to store: 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.
