Ingredients
For the muffins, you will need:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup buttermilk
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
For the cheesecake filling, gather the following ingredients:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and buttermilk. Mix well until combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the diced strawberries gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy to make the cheesecake filling.
- Drop a spoonful of muffin batter into each prepared muffin cup, followed by a tablespoon of the cheesecake filling, and then top with another spoonful of muffin batter to cover the filling.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
