Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups flour
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1.5 cups strawberries diced
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375F and line a muffin tin.
  2. Beat the cream cheese with the powdered sugar until smooth and set aside.
  3. Whisk the flour, sugar, and baking powder, then fold in the milk, butter, and eggs until just combined.
  4. Gently fold in the strawberries, then fill each cup halfway.
  5. Add a small spoonful of cream cheese to each, then top with more batter to cover.
  6. Bake 20 to 22 minutes until golden, then cool fully so the filling sets.

Notes

Let them cool completely so the creamy center firms up.
