Ingredients

  • STRAWBERRY MUFFINS:
  • 1 cup flour, plus 1 tablespoon
  • 1 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 cup sugar, plus 1 tablespoon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1 egg room temperature and beaten
  • 1/3 cup skim or 1% milk, plus 1/2 tablespoon
  • 1 cup strawberries chopped
  • CREAM CHEESE FILLING:
  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
  • STREUSEL TOPPING:
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon white granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter cold

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Line 12 muffin tins with paper liners.
  • Sift or mix 1 cup flour, baking powder, 1/4 cup sugar, and salt in small bowl. Set aside.
  • In another small bowl toss chopped strawberries, and 1 tablespoon each of flour and sugar. Set aside.
  • In large mixing bowl stir together melted butter, milk, and egg. Stir in dry ingredients 1/3 at a time. Stir only to combine, leaving small lumps.
    Fold in strawberry mixture.
  • In another bowl combine cream cheese filling.
  • Use a grater to grate 2 tablespoons cold butter. Add remaining streusel ingredients and stir together with a fork.
  • Fill 1 spoonful of strawberry batter in the bottom of each muffin tin. Place a spoonful of cream cheese filling on top, dividing evenly among all muffins. Cover each muffin with remaining strawberry batter and sprinkle streusel mix over the top of each. Lightly press streusel into batter so it sticks.
