Spoon the muffin mixture into the muffin cup, and fill 2/3rds the way full.
Bake as directed, and once the muffins are done, place on a cooling rack to allow the muffins to cool.
Hint: adding flour to the strawberries will help ensure all the berries don’t sink to the bottom of the muffins.
Variations
- Fresh Berries – do a blend of fresh berries instead of just strawberries. Raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries are all great options.
- Chocolate – use milk chocolate chips or dark chocolate in replace of white chocolate. Or get creative and do a little white chocolate with some milk chocolate sprinkled in.
- Streusel – feel free to create a streusel topping that you could sprinkle on top and center of the muffin for a nice elevated flavor and texture.

Equipment
For this muffin recipe, I do recommend using a muffin pan and paper muffin cups to help prevent the muffins from sticking in the pan. I also love to use a hand mixer as it is going to help ensure you get that perfect muffin batter in minutes. You could use a whisk though if you prefer.
Another item I recommend is an ice cream scoop. That is the perfect size for scooping the wet batter into the muffin tin. A wire rack for cooling the muffins is optional, but I always recommend investing in a cooling rack if you can.
Storage
Store your strawberry white chocolate chip muffins in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-4 days. You can eat them chilled or warm them up in the microwave. If you reheat just know you will have a creamy white chocolate when you bite into the tasty muffins.
You can also freeze the muffins if you choose. Place in a freezer bag or freezer container. Freeze for 2-3 months. Then thaw in the fridge overnight, or on the counter for like 30 minutes. They will taste delicious just like they were freshly baked.
Test Kitchen Tips
- Reach for ripe and fresh strawberries. If you don’t have fresh you can use frozen strawberries. Just make sure to cut it into small strawberry pieces before you mix them into the batter.
- Don’t overmix the muffin batter or it can cause the muffins to become dense and heavy.
- Place the muffins in the center of the oven, so you can get an even bake on the baked muffins.
- You know the muffins are done when you stick a toothpick in the center and the toothpick comes out clean of wet batter.
- Any fresh fruit can be used, just use the same amount of fruit so you don’t get too much fruit in the batter and cause too much extra moisture.
- Ensure you do not overbake the muffins or it will cause your muffins to dry out and you will not have a moist muffin at the end.
FAQ
You can leave out the white chocolate chips or use a white chocolate bar that you chop into smaller white chocolate chunks. Or you can use dried fruit or nuts in replace of the chocolate.
Of course, you can make the muffins up to 24 hours ahead of time. You don’t want to bake too far in advance as you will find the muffins will begin to dry out pretty quickly.
Using cooking spray or lining your muffin tin with muffin liners is the best way to prevent your muffins from sticking in the pan.
