These strawberry and white chocolate muffins are bursting with fresh, juicy chopped strawberries and creamy white chocolate chips! They make the perfect sweet treat at any time of the day.
While I’m a firm believer that strawberries are at their very best eaten just as they are, perhaps in a classic Eton Mess dessert or with just a trickling of cream or a scoop of ice cream, I really do love them in these muffins.
The berries go almost jammy and they marry in sweet harmony with the creamy white chocolate. It’s a match made in heaven!
How to make perfect strawberry and white chocolate muffins
Want to know the secret to making perfect soft and fluffy muffins?
Sour cream.
A generous amount of full fat sour cream adds extra moisture to the batter, resulting in an extremely tender crumb.
Just like most muffin recipes, they really take no time at all to put together. They are the perfect thing to make if you’re short on time but you promised to bake something for your kids bake sale, or if you have friends coming over.
It takes no more than 10 minutes to make the batter and about 25 minutes to bake – making these muffins a perfect quick and easy treat.
how long do the muffins keep for?
Like all muffins, they are best eaten on the day of baking – ideally slightly warm! Any leftovers will keep in an airtight container for up two days.
can you freeze these strawberry muffins?
Yes! You can freeze the muffins for up to five months.
can i use frozen strawberries to make these muffins?
I’m afraid I wouldn’t recommend using frozen strawberries – they would release far too much water and ruin the muffins. For the best results, stick to fresh strawberries.
recipe substitutions
Substitute two chopped fresh peaches for the strawberries to make peach white chocolate muffins
If you don’t have sour cream, Greek yoghurt will also work.
Depending on the size of your muffin tin, you may well have enough batter leftover to make a mini cake. The cake tin I used to make this cute little strawberry and white chocolate loaf measures 14x8x9cm.

Those are gorgeous! Muffins are fantastic and those seem decadent. Strawberries and white chocolate together is to die for.
Thanks Melisa 🙂 They are my kids favourites.
Strawberry and white chocolate is such a lovely combination. These look great. I think the strawberry season has been particularly good so far this year – long may it continue!
Thank you! I agree, the strawberries are lovely this year!

Love the idea of these makes a change from the more common raspberry and white chocolate combo.
Thanks Jacqui, they are pretty delicious and a favourite of my boys 🙂
Some clear idea of the amount of ingredients needed would be a nice thing rather than just “flour”. If Ive got to look for it I aint bakin it
Hi Robert, you’ll find all the ingredient amounts in the recipe card at the bottom of the post.
Hi there, this initial list says caster sugar, and the recipe card says granulated. Can you please confirm which one is best? Thank you!
Hi Jen, caster sugar is best but you can also use granulated. Thanks for pointing that out, I’ll fix it!
