Instructions
- Preheat the oven.ย ย Preheat your oven to 400ยฐF (200ยฐC), positioning the rack in the center. Then, line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- Make the batter. Whisk together the vegetable oil, milk, and egg in a large bowl until well combined. Then, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until combinedโbe careful not to overmix.
- Prep the strawberries.ย ย Pat the chopped strawberries dry with a paper towel. Set aside 3 tablespoons of the strawberries, and toss them with 1 tablespoon of flour.ย ย This will help them stay on top of the muffins during baking.
- Add the mix-ins.ย ย Gently fold the remaining strawberries and the white chocolate chips into the batter, ensuring an even distribution. If youโre worried about the chocolate chips sinking, lightly toss them with a small amount of flour before adding them.
- Fill the muffin tins.ย ย Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each liner about ยพ of the way full. Then, top each muffin with the floured strawberry pieces and a few extra white chocolate chips. Optionally, sprinkle a bit of sparkling sugar on top for added texture and sweetness.
- Bake.ย ย Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and serve. Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Key Ingredients and Tools
Some specific ingredients and tools help improve the outcome when baking these muffins. Here are the essentials:

- Fresh strawberries: Theyโre the highlight of the recipe, bringing a sweet and juicy flavor. Use ripe ones for the best taste.
- White chocolate chips: Choosing quality white chocolate chips or chopping up a premium white chocolate bar can make your muffins taste even better with a creamy sweetness. If youโre out of white chocolate or just like something else, dark or milk chocolate chips would work just fine. You could add chopped nuts or coconut for a different texture and flavor.
- Vegetable oil: It keeps the muffins soft and moist. You can switch it with melted butter for more richness or coconut oil for a slight coconut flavor.
- Milk: It adds moisture and helps mix everything well. You can use almond, oat, or any plant milk you like for a non-dairy version.
- Coarse sugar: Though not a must, sprinkling some coarse sugar like turbinado on top before baking gives the muffins a crunchy texture and a bakery-style look.
- Ice cream scoop: An ice cream or muffin scoop is great for getting even portions of batter, making sure all the muffins are baked evenly. It also helps avoid a mess when filling the cups.
- Muffin liners: They make it easy to take the muffins out and clean up afterward. You can usually find them in the baking section. If you donโt have any, grease the muffin tin well.
Paying attention to these ingredients and tools can make a difference in your baking and make sure your muffins come out great!
Troubleshooting and Help
Yes, you can, but thaw them completely and pat them dry well before adding them to the batter. Frozen strawberries tend to release more moisture, which could make the muffins a bit soggy.
No worries! Make sure to grease the muffin tin well with butter or cooking spray to prevent the muffins from sticking.
Sure! You can swap the strawberries for other berries like blue, raspberries, or diced peaches. Remember that the moisture content might change slightly, so pat them dry before adding to the batter. If you love berry-filled muffins, check out these Sourdough Blackberry Muffinsโtheyโre a great way to enjoy a different fruit flavor while still getting that moist, delicious texture you crave.
That usually happens if the batter is overmixed. Try to fold the ingredients and stop once everything is combined gently. Overmixing can activate too much gluten, which makes the muffins dense.
Of course! A simple glaze made of powdered sugar and a little milk or lemon juice would be delicious drizzled over the top. Itโll add extra sweetness and make them look even more tempting.
Definitely! Just reduce the baking time to about 12-15 minutes and keep an eye on them. Use the same toothpick test to check for doneness.

Yes, you can! These muffins freeze well. Wrap them individually and store them in a freezer bag once theyโve cooled completely. When youโre ready to eat them, warm them up in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds, and theyโll taste fresh!
These Strawberry White Chocolate Muffins are an easy, yummy treat I can enjoy anytime – whether for breakfast, a snack, or coffee. Theyโre simple to make, quick to prepare, and perfect for when youโre busy, want to bake on the weekend, or plan to freeze some for later. The combination of fresh strawberries and smooth white chocolate makes them a fantastic choice for any occasion.
