Ingredients

• 2 cup all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs, room temperature and lightly beaten
• 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
• Cream Cheese Mixture
• 4 oz cream cheese, room temperature
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat over to 350 degrees. Grease muffin tin or line with muffin liners.

In a small bowl, mix together cream cheese, 1/3 cup sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. Set aside.
In a big bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Set aside.

In another bowl, whisk together milk, melted butter, vanilla extract and egg until incorporated. Use a spatula, mix the milk mixture into the flour mixture. Fold together until combined. Do not over mix. Spoon the batter into the prepared tins, filling them no more than 1/2 full. Then scatter a few pieces of strawberry on top of each one.

Then top with a teaspoon of cream cheese mixture, a tablespoon of muffin batter, and finally a few more pieces of strawberry. Bake the muffins for about 25 minutes, until they're light golden on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then invert on a plate and serve.
