Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (113 grams)
Strawberry Components:
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
Additional Ingredients:
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Craft a delectable streusel topping by combining flour, brown sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl. Incorporate melted butter and blend until the mixture develops a crumbly, textured consistency.
- Heat the oven to 375F (190C) and prepare a muffin tin with paper liners. Create a dry ingredient base by whisking flour, salt, and baking powder in one bowl. In a separate vessel, blend oil, sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and Greek yogurt until harmonious.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, ensuring a smooth, well-integrated batter. Gently incorporate diced strawberries, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
- Prepare the cream cheese filling by whipping cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and corn starch until achieving a silky, uniform texture.
- Fill each muffin liner with a tablespoon of batter, creating a foundational layer. Delicately deposit a teaspoon of cream cheese filling in the center, then carefully cover with additional muffin batter.
- Generously sprinkle the prepared streusel topping over each muffin, ensuring complete coverage.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, monitoring until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean and the muffins develop a golden-brown hue.
- Allow muffins to cool completely. Construct a luxurious glaze by whisking powdered sugar with milk or cream until achieving a smooth, pourable consistency.
- Elegantly drizzle the glaze over the cooled muffins, creating an appetizing final touch.
Notes
- Customize strawberry selection by using fresh, frozen, or seasonal varieties for optimal flavor and texture.
- Ensure cream cheese filling remains centered by creating a small well in the muffin batter before adding the filling.
- Adjust sweetness levels by reducing sugar for health-conscious diets or using alternative sweeteners like honey or stevia.
- Prevent strawberries from sinking by lightly coating diced pieces in flour before folding into batter.
