Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350° F.
2. To a medium bowl, add butter, eggs, cocoa, and orange juice. Mix well.
3. Add 3 tbsp honey (leave 1 tbsp for frosting), other dry ingredients, and orange zest.
4. Mix well.
5. Place muffin batter in muffin cups, leaving room for expansion. Use muffin liners or spray each cup with nonstick cooking spray.
6. Bake for 12-13 minutes in preheated oven until golden brown or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. While muffins cool, in a separate bowl, mix cream cheese and 1 tbsp honey.
8. Add a small teaspoon of the frosting on each muffin top. Use a pipping bag for the swirly look.
9. Place 1 strawberry on top of each muffin. Add a small dollop of frosting on top of each strawberry. Again, use a pipping bag for a swirly look.
10. Enjoy your super cute mini holiday muffins!

Notes

Ensure that your eggs and butter are at room temperature. This helps create fluffy muffins with a perfect texture.
Don't skimp on the zest! The combination of citrusy orange zest and the warmth of cocoa adds a delightful kick to your muffins.
Experiment with toppings! Try a variety of berries, a drizzle of melted white chocolate, or even a dusting of icing sugar for that extra festive touch.
