Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced

Streusel Topping

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

Instructions

  1. Preheat that oven to 375°F (190°C) and line your muffin tin with liners or grease it up good.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, mix the melted butter, cream cheese, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Gently stir in the diced strawberries, being careful not to mush them up too much!
  4. For that yummy streusel topping, combine the flour, brown sugar, oats, cubed butter, and cinnamon in a bowl. Use a fork or your fingers to mix it until it looks crumbly.

  6. Bake for about 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Your kitchen is gonna smell amazing!
  7. Let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Enjoy these muffins warm or at room temperature—just don’t forget to share… or not!
