Printable Recipe
Makes 18 regular sized muffins


Ingredients:

3 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup granulated sugar
1 stick butter
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup sour cream
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups strawberries - diced

Filling:

8 ounces cream cheese - softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract


Directions:

Grease 18 muffin tins and set aside
Heat oven to 375 degrees F

1. Blend together cream cheese and 1/4 cup sugar for filling until smooth. Add egg and vanilla and mix well. Refrigerate until needed.
2. Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and sugar. Set aside.
3. Melt butter and add to oil. Stir in milk, sour cream, vanilla and eggs.
4. Pour wet ingredients into dry and blend until just combined - there may be a few lumps. Fold in strawberries.
5. Spoon into prepared muffin tins 2/3 full. Drop filling onto top of each muffin - about a tablespoon for each. If refrigerated the filling will sink into the batter and settle in the center while baking.
6. bake for 20-25 minutes or until the tops spring back when touched. Cool completely in tins before removing.
