Instructions
Making Strawberry Cream Cheese Muffins can be a breeze if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat your oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the melted butter, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
5. Fold in Strawberries: Gently fold in the diced strawberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Prepare Cream Cheese Filling: In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
7. Fill Muffin Tins: Spoon a tablespoon of the batter into each muffin cup. Add about a teaspoon of the cream cheese filling on top, then cover with more muffin batter until the cups are about ¾ full.
8. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
9. Cool: Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for about 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
