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
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 0.25 cup sour cream
• 1 cup white chocolate chips
• salt (A pinch)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare a muffin tin by lining the cups or greasing them.

2. 2

   In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, neutral oil, and granulated 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 until just combined. Do not overmix.

7. 7

   Toss the diced strawberries with the reserved 2 tablespoons of dry mixture.

8. 8

   Add the coated strawberries and white chocolate chips to the batter. Fold them in without overmixing.

9. 9

   Let the batter sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Do not mix the batter again after it has rested.

10. 10

    Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups.

11. 11

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

12. 12

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

13. 13

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

Notes

The source method refers to both a “milk mixture” and “vanilla extract,” while the ingredient list specifies buttermilk and vanilla bean paste; those listed ingredients were used. The source does not explicitly state the muffin yield, so 12 muffins is an estimate based on a standard muffin tin.
