Strawberry Muffins With Cream Cheese Spread Food

STRAWBERRY MUFFINS WITH CREAM CHEESE SPREAD

Steps:

• Combine cream cheese, strawberries, and honey in a food processor; pulse until smooth. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray 12 muffin cups with cooking spray or line with paper muffin liners.
• Mix strawberries and 1 tablespoon sugar in a bowl. Set aside for 10 minutes.
• Stir flour, 3/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Whisk eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and orange zest in a small bowl until well blended. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture, stirring until just combined.
• Drain strawberries and gently fold into the batter. Divide the batter equally among the prepared muffin cups.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve warm or cooled with the strawberry cream cheese spread.

STRAWBERRY-CREAM CHEESE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400ºF. Line a 12 cup muffin tin with cupcake papers, then spray lined pan lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a medium bowl, stir together flour, 3/4 cup sugar, baking powder and baking soda. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until mixture is crumbly. Stir in chopped strawberries.
• In a small bowl, blend buttermilk and egg with a whisk. Gently stir buttermilk mixture into flour mixture, mixing only until just combined (do not overmix). Divide batter evenly among muffin cups (you will seem to have too much batter for 12 muffins, but it's not).
• Place 2 tbs of sugar in a small dish. Dip each cream cheese cube in the sugar, then place each dipped cube into the center of each muffin. Press the cheese cubes into the muffin batter until they are level with the batter (don't submerge the cream cheese in the batter, though; the tops should still be visible). Sprinkle the muffins evenly with the remaining 1 tbs of sugar.
• Bake muffins for 20-25 minutes, or until light brown (a toothpick inserted off-center comes out clean -- do not insert toothpick into cream cheese).
• Remove baked muffins from the oven and cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove muffins from pan and serve warm or fully cooled. Store any leftovers in the fridge.

Steps:

There will be some lumps but don't overmix the batter! Add the strawberries and sugar and stir gently to combine.
• Using a 2 1/4-inch ice cream scoop, spoon the batter into the muffin cups to fill the liners. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until a cake tester comes out clean and the tops are nicely browned.
