Strawberries were on sale this week, so I thought I'd try my
hand at some muffins. I've made a bread like this once and it was delicious, so
I found a recipe for muffins. I also bought an ice cream scoop to make dishing
out the batter easier. Can't wait to try these.

Strawberry Cream Cheese Muffins
makes 24
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
¼ cup butter, softened
1 ½ cups sugar
2 eggs
½ cup milk
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped fresh strawberries
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a mixer cream together
the cream cheese, butter, and sugar. Add the eggs, milk, and vanilla and mix
until just combined. In a bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking
soda, and the salt. Add the dry ingredients to the mixing bowl and mix until
just combined. Be careful not to over mix. The batter will be thick, almost
like cookie dough. Fold in the strawberries. Spoon batter into a paper lined
muffin pan. Fill the muffin cups about 3/4 of the way full and bake for about
20 to 25 minutes, until the tops are golden. Cool on a cooling rack for about
15 minutes.
