White Chocolate Strawberry Muffins

Ingredients

• 315 g all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 0.5 tsp baking soda
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 eggs (Room temperature)
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter (Melted)
• 2 tbsp neutral oil
• 1 cup fresh strawberries (Diced)
• 1 tbsp vanilla bean paste (The method refers to vanilla extract; the ingredient list specifies vanilla bean paste.)
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 0.25 cup sour cream
• 1 cup white chocolate chips
• salt (Pinch)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or greasing it.

2. 2

   In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, neutral oil, and sugar until well combined.

3. 3

   Add the room-temperature eggs and whisk for 2–3 minutes, until the mixture is pale in color.

4. 4

   Add the buttermilk, vanilla bean paste, and sour cream. Mix until well combined.

5. 5

   In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Reserve 2 tablespoons of this dry mixture for coating the strawberries.

6. 6

   Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix only until just combined.

7. 7

   Toss the diced strawberries with the reserved 2 tablespoons of dry mixture, then add the coated strawberries and white chocolate chips to the batter.

8. 8

   Do not overmix the batter. Let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes, and do not mix it again afterward.

9. 9

   Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups.

10. 10

    Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 5 minutes.

11. 11

    Without opening the oven door, reduce the temperature to 375°F (190°C). Continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

12. 12

    Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

The ingredient list specifies vanilla bean paste, while the method says vanilla extract; vanilla bean paste is retained as the authoritative listed ingredient. The source does not state the muffin yield, so 12 muffins is an estimate.
