Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375° F. and line a 12 cup muffin pan with parchment paper liners.
  2. In a small bowl whisk together the cheesecake filling until smooth then cover and place it in the refrigerator to firm up while you make the muffins.
  3. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda. In a smaller bowl whisk together the milk, egg, Greek yogurt and extracts. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and fold together with a rubber spatula until almost combined.
  4. Add in the diced strawberries and fold together just until combined.
  5. Scoop approximately 1 1/2 tablespoons of the muffin batter into the bottom of the parchment paper liners. Spoon 1/2-1 teaspoon of the cheesecake filling onto the muffin batter, try to get it in the center. Spoon another 1 1/2 tablespoons of the muffin batter on top of the cheesecake filling making sure it is completely covered.
  6. Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with raw sugar if desired. Place on the middle rack of the oven and bake for approximately 14-16 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Remove the muffins from the oven and cool on a wire rack.

Notes

  • The muffins are best eaten the day they are made, but may be frozen for a later date as well.
