17/11/2023

White chocolate and strawberry muffins are a delicious variation of classic muffins. I’ll guide you step by step in making these delightful treats.

Ingredients

  • 150 g of white chocolate
  • 250 g of all-purpose flour
  • 100 g of sugar
  • 80 ml of vegetable oil
  • 150 ml of milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 packet of baking powder
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 150 g of fresh strawberries
  • A bit of powdered sugar for decoration (optional)

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C and prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper cups.
  2. Chop the white chocolate into small pieces, or you could use white chocolate chips if you prefer.
  3. Wash the strawberries, remove the stems, and cut them into not too small pieces.
  4. In a bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
  5. In another bowl, beat the egg with the sugar until you get a frothy mixture.
  6. Add the oil and milk to the egg and sugar mixture, mixing well.
  7. Gradually incorporate the flour blend, stirring gently to avoid deflating the mixture.
  8. Finally, gently fold in the white chocolate chunks and strawberries, trying to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
  9. Fill the paper cups to three-quarters with the muffin batter.
  10. Place the muffins in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until they are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.
  12. If desired, before serving, you can sprinkle the muffins with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness and decoration.

Curiosity

White chocolate is sweeter compared to milk or dark chocolate, which is why it pairs very well with the acidity of strawberries. This flavor combination is appreciated for the contrast it creates on the palate, making the muffins irresistible with every bite.

Happy baking and enjoy your meal!
