Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, diced
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons coarse sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate medium bowl, beat the egg, then whisk in the milk, oil, and vanilla extract until just combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until the batter is moistened. Be careful not to overmix. Gently fold in the diced strawberries.
- In the medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Fill each muffin cup about halfway with the strawberry batter. Add a dollop of the cream cheese mixture into the center of each. Top with the remaining muffin batter, covering the cream cheese completely. Sprinkle the tops with coarse sugar.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the muffin part comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
