How to Make Strawberry Cheesecake Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, beat together 8 ounces (225g) of softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups (180g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 1/2 cup (120ml) milk, 1/4 cup (50g) packed light brown sugar, 1/4 cup (55g) melted unsalted margarine or butter, 1 teaspoon lemon extract, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Gently fold the wet ingredients (from step 4) into the dry ingredients (from step 3) until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Spoon half of the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about halfway.
  7. Top each muffin with 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture and 1 teaspoon of your favorite strawberry jam.
  8. Spoon the remaining muffin batter over the cream cheese and jam filling.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the muffins are golden brown.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
