Strawberry and White Chocolate Muffins
Description
The muffins start with a batter composed of all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, milk, chopped strawberries, and white chocolate chips. The strawberries are washed, cut into pieces, and incorporated into the batter alongside half the white chocolate chips. The batter is mixed thoroughly, ideally with an electric mixer due to its thickness.
The topping is made separately from flour, brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter, and sprinkled on top with the remaining white chocolate chips. Muffins are baked until set and lightly golden.
The combination of fresh strawberries and white chocolate lends a balance of tart fruitiness and creamy sweetness. The crumb topping adds texture and cinnamon warmth, enhancing the muffin's flavor complexity. Cooling the muffins on a wire rack before eating helps set the crumb topping and improves texture.
Extra topping crumbs can be stored for future use. These muffins are suitable for breakfast, brunch, or as a sweet snack.
