Ingredients

  • Muffins
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 cup strawberries cut into small chunks
  • Filling
  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/2 egg about 2 tbsp beaten
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla
  • Cinnamon Streusel
  • 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 3 tbsp butter

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees and make sure to grease 12 cup muffin pan so they will come out easily.
  • For the Cream Cheese Filling: In the bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until light and fluffy, about two minutes.
  • Beat in the egg and vanilla extract and transfer to the freezer and chill until at least slightly firm.
  • For the Muffins: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt; set aside.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the egg, vegetable oil, milk and vanilla extract. Stir the dry ingredients in the milk mixture gently until just incorporated.
  • Do not over-mix, the batter should be slightly lumpy.
  • For the topping: In a small bowl, stir together flour, sugar and cinnamon.
  • Add the cold butter and mix with a fork until the mixture looks like coarse wet sand. Set aside.
  • Spoon in one tablespoon of muffin mixture into each cup.
  • Add a few chunks of strawberries and a one teaspoon of cream cheese filling to each muffin cup.
  • Sprinkle some of the streusel topping on the cheesecake filling,
  • Fill the muffins with remaining batter so the strawberry cream cheese filling is covered.
  • Top with remaining strawberries, and sprinkle remaining streusel topping.
  • Bake for 22-25 minutes. Let cool in pan for 5 minutes and serve warm.
  • I maybe eating one right now! :)
