Ingredients for Strawberry White Chocolate Muffins
250g (2 cups) all-purpose flour provides the structure for the muffins, keeping them sturdy yet soft.
2 teaspoon baking powder + ⅛ teaspoon baking soda create lift, helping the muffins rise. The acidity from the strawberries and jam helps activate the baking soda for a better rise.
115g (½ cup) melted butter adds richness, moisture, and flavor, making the muffins soft and tender.
(½ cup) milk provides extra moisture, ensuring a light and fluffy crumb.
2 large eggs contribute structure, binding power, and tenderness, helping the muffins hold together.
200g (1 cup) sugar in the batter sweetens the muffins without making them overly sugary.
75g (6 tbsp) sugar in the crumble topping adds extra sweetness and crunch, creating a crispy contrast.
240g (1 cup) strawberry jam brings natural sweetness and fruit flavor while increasing moisture. The batter is thick enough to hold up to this addition without becoming too wet.
85g (3 oz) white chocolate adds creamy sweetness, perfectly balancing the tartness of fresh strawberries. It melts into the muffins, creating pockets of flavor.
170g (1 cup) fresh strawberries provide juicy bursts of fruitiness in every bite.
The jam swirl enhances the strawberry flavor while adding a beautiful ripple effect throughout the muffins.
How To Make Strawberry White Chocolate Muffins
Make the crumble topping: Melt butter in a microwave-safe bowl in 10-second increments until fully melted. Add granulated sugar and flour, then mix until combined. Use clean hands to break into crumbs and set aside.
Prepare the muffin batter: Preheat the oven to 180°C (360°F). Line a muffin tin with liners or grease lightly. In a large bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir in melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add flour, baking powder, and baking soda, then gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix.
Add mix-ins and assemble: Fold in diced strawberries and chopped white chocolate. Fill muffin liners two-thirds full with batter. Spoon strawberry jam over each muffin and swirl gently with a toothpick. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over each muffin. Any leftover crumble can be frozen.
Bake: Bake at 180°C (360°F) for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Serve: Enjoy warm or cooled. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted white chocolate for extra sweetness.
Storage: Keep muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days, refrigerate for up to 5 days, or freeze for 3 months. Warm slightly before serving for the best texture.
Tips for the Best Muffins
Don't overmix! A few lumps in the batter are totally fine, overmixing can make muffins dense and tough instead of light and fluffy. Stir just until the dry ingredients are combined, and you'll get that soft, bakery-style texture every time!

FAQs for Strawberry White Chocolate Muffins

This usually happens if the batter is overmixed, if too much strawberry jam was added on top, or if the oven temperature was too low. Be sure to bake at 180°C (360°F) and avoid opening the oven door too soon.
