👩‍🍳 How to Make Them

1️⃣ Prep
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.

2️⃣ Cream Cheese Center
Mix cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Set aside.

3️⃣ Muffin Batter

  • Whisk dry ingredients together.
  • In another bowl, mix butter, eggs, sour cream, milk, and vanilla.
  • Combine wet and dry ingredients gently.
  • Fold in strawberries (don’t overmix!).

4️⃣ Fill & Layer

  • Add 1 tablespoon batter into each liner.
  • Add 1 teaspoon cream cheese filling.
  • Cover with more batter until ¾ full.
  • Sprinkle tops with sugar if desired.

5️⃣ Bake
Bake 18–22 minutes until golden and a toothpick comes out clean (avoid the cream center).

6️⃣ Cool
Let cool 10 minutes before serving — the centers stay creamy!

💡 Pro Tips

  • Toss strawberries in 1 tablespoon flour before adding to prevent sinking.
  • Chill the cream cheese filling 10 minutes for easier spooning.
  • Best enjoyed slightly warm!
