Preparation

  3. In another bowl, mix together the wet ingredients: eggs, milk, oil (or melted butter), and vanilla extract.
  4. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.
  5. Fold in the diced strawberries ensuring even distribution.
  6. In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
  7. Spoon the muffin batter into the liners halfway, add cream cheese filling, and top with more batter.
