Recipe ingredients
Strawberries: Choose fresh, shiny, juicy, flavorful strawberries; the best ones are available during your local strawberry season. Try more strawberry cakes, such as Strawberry Rhubarb Pieย or this Strawberry Rhubarb Bundt Cake.
White chocolate: I buy a block of white chocolate, but white chocolate chips work just as well.
Greek yogurt and sour cream make the muffins super soft, moist, and tender.
Cornstarch: Adding cornstarch to muffin batter helps make the muffins tender and soft by improving the texture and reducing gluten formation.

How to make white chocolate strawberry muffins?
Step #1: Chop strawberries and white chocolate. Separate the eggs and beat the egg whites. Mix all wet ingredients in a bowl.
Step #2: Add mixed dry ingredients, strawberries, and chocolate.
Step #3: Spoon the batter into the muffin tin, filling each well about ยพ full.
Step #4: Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Good to know!
Making muffins is simple - often, you just mix a few ingredients without needing a mixer. For this recipe, you'll need a mixer to whip the egg whites, but usually, a rubber spatula or wooden spoon is sufficient.
Donโt overmix; itโs fine if the batter is a bit lumpy. Overmixing can make muffins tough by developing too much gluten.
Storage
Store the strawberry white chocolate muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, less if the weather is hot.
Refrigerate them in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
You can also freeze them for up to 3 months.

- You canย substitute the strawberries for other berries, such as raspberries, blueberries, red, white,ย or black currants, etc.ย
- Chocolate chips are just as good.ย
- You can use plain chocolate instead of white.ย
