Strawberry Muffins
Ingredients for Strawberry Muffins:
2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg, beaten and at room temperature
3/4 cup skim or 1% milk plus 1 tablespoon
2 cups frozen strawberries, thawed and chopped
Ingredients for Cheesecake Filling:
6 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 large egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
Ingredients for Streusel Topping (Optional):
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line 24 muffin tins with cupcake liners.
In a mixing bowl, sift together 2 cups flour, baking powder, 1/2 cup sugar, and salt. Set aside.
In a small bowl, toss chopped strawberries with 2 tablespoons flour and 2 tablespoons sugar. Set aside.
In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer, blend melted butter, milk, and egg.
Slowly add dry ingredients to the batter and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chopped strawberries. The batter may turn blue if using frozen strawberries, but this is normal.
In another small bowl, beat together all ingredients for the cheesecake filling. Set aside.
Use a cheese grater and grate cold butter into a bowl. Add remaining ingredients for the streusel topping and mash together using a fork or pastry cutter.
Spoon 1 heaping tablespoon of muffin batter into each lined muffin tin. Add a little less than 1 tablespoon of cheesecake mixture to each tin, then top with more muffin batter until approximately 2/3 full. Sprinkle the streusel mixture evenly over the tops, pressing it down gently.
Bake for 25 minutes or until the muffin tops spring back when touched. Times may vary based on oven and how much batter was used.
Allow muffins to cool before serving.
Enjoy!
