Recipe (Berry Cheesecake Muffins)

Strawberry Cheesecake Muffins

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup applesauce
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup plain unsweetened yogurt (I used 2% plain greek yogurt)
• 2 cups fresh chopped strawberries (or any other berry you like)
• Cream Cheese Filling

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

In a large bowl sift flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

In another large bowl whisk together sugar, oil, applesauce, vanilla, egg, and yogurt.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir.

Fold in strawberries (reserving about 1/2 cup).

Grease 24 muffin tins. Fill up each muffin tin half way, add about 1 tbsp of the cream cheese filling, then top it with more batter (almost to the top of the muffin tin). Sprinkle with a few remaining berry chunks and press down lightly.

Bake 20 to 25 minutes and allow to cool completely.
