My husband is a huge fan of white chocolate. Personally I'm not a fan of the stuff but I know he loves it so when I had a bunch of extra strawberries on hand recently, I decided to make White Chocolate and Strawberry muffins for him.
I was surprised that there weren't many recipes for it online - mostly found recipes for strawberry cupcakes with white chocolate buttercream or vice versa. I finally figured it shouldn't be too hard to come up with so I found a standard muffin recipe and then added in my two star ingredients at the end. Fold in carefully and be careful not to over mix.
Spooned into muffin cases.
And then baked at 180 degrees Celcius for about 15 mins. What I didn't expect when I baked these is that the white chocolate chips actually melted into the cake but this gave the cakes a wonderfully moist texture and a creamier sweetness which played off the tart strawberry perfectly.
Make your own!
White Chocolate and Strawberry Muffins
2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 tbs baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
1 egg, beaten
1 cup milk
1/4 butter, melted and slightly cooled
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 cup fresh strawberries, cut small
1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees C. Line your muffin tray.
2. Combine your dry ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
3. In a separate bowl, mix butter, egg, milk and vanilla. Slowly mix in dry ingredients. At the end, fold in the chocolate chips and strawberries until just incorporated.
4. Spoon batter into prepared cups. Bake for about 15 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
5. Enjoy muffins with a cup of tea!
