Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 pint fresh strawberries washed, hulled, sliced

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a standard muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.
  4. Fold in the softened cream cheese until marbled but not fully blended.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, gently mixing until just combined. Do not over mix!
  6. Gently fold in the sliced strawberries until they're evenly distributed. Try not to break them apart!
  7. Pour the batter into the muffin tin, filling each well about 2/3 full. Make sure they're even. Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool on a wire rack before serving.
