I hope you have a wonderful day! Let me know if you try these. This recipe is adapted from The Dutch Baker’s Daughter. The original recipe is called Strawberries and Cream Muffins… Improv Challenge. I found it while looking for a strawberry and chunky cream cheese style muffin recipe that I wanted to test out based on a muffin I enjoyed at the Taos Inn in New Mexico. It’s similar, but not an exact match but I’m glad I came across it because it is so flavorful.

This recipe makes for soft, moist, homestyle muffins with a fresh summery tang to it, yet also tastes like Christmas.
