Instructions
Making Strawberry Cream Cheese Muffins is a breeze when you follow these simple steps:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin pan with paper liners or grease it with non-stick spray.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- Cream the Butters and Sugars: In another bowl, combine softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat until light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract until smooth.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
- Add Cream Cheese: Gently fold in the softened cream cheese until combined but still slightly lumpy; be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in Strawberries: Gently fold in the chopped strawberries, ensuring an even distribution throughout the batter.
- Divide Batter: Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared muffin pan, filling each compartment about 3/4 full.
- Bake: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
