Fresh Strawberry and White Chocolate Muffins
Start your morning right with these Fresh Strawberry and White Chocolate Muffins! Moist, fruity, and perfectly sweet, each bite is bursting with juicy strawberries and creamy white chocolate. So easy to make and even easier to devour, it makes the perfect breakfast, snack, or treat. Weekend baking just got better!
Imagine a cold and gloomy morning and you wake up to the delicious aroma of freshly baked muffins that’s still warm and waiting just for you!
What an ideal way to start the day, right? It’s not impossible and I sure have an excellent recipe for you – Fresh Strawberry and White Chocolate Muffins!
I am so happy that now that it’s spring we are getting more strawberries in the store and when they abound that means you can purchase them at a very low price.
Since we bought quite a lot of strawberries I have been in a Strawberry baking frenzy! Just last week I made three strawberry cakes and yesterday I made these!
There’s just something about fresh fruits and especially strawberries – they’re just so perfect for baking – not only do they impart that pretty reddish-pinkish hue to any bread, cake or muffin – they also lend it the yummiest and freshest flavor too!
Each bite into these Strawberry muffins truly brings such pure delight!
I thought I’ll have some for breakfast this morning but my kids love these so much, especially my little boy that when he came home from school yesterday – he ate the rest….I must confess I did have 3! Yikes…it’s that good!
If you wish to make a healthy and low-fat version, feel free to omit the chocolate chips (though you may have to add some more sugar especially if the strawberries are really tart) but my question is – why would you? So worth the extra calories!!!
Whatever season you may be in right now – winter, spring, summer, or fall – these strawberry muffins loaded with white chocolate should always be on your must-make baking list. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed! Enjoy.

FOR FULL RECIPE & INSTRUCTIONS, SEE THE RECIPE CARD BELOW.
INGREDIENTS for FRESH STRAWBERRY WHITE CHOCOLATE MUFFINS
- All-purpose Flour
- Sugar (you can use either white or brown or a mix of the two – I used half of each)
- Baking Powder (make sure they are not expired so check the date)
- Salt
- Eggs (room temperature)
- Yogurt (may be replaced with sour cream)
- Olive oil (light or the fruity version / regular vegetable oil will also do if you cannot find the light olive oil)
- Vanilla extract
- Fresh Strawberries, diced
- White Chocolate Chips (or chopped up white chocolate bar)
Procedure
Preheat oven to 400F/200C. Line your muffin pan with paper cups or use non-stick silicone muffin trays.
In a large mixing bowl, mix all the dry ingredients together. Set aside.
In another bowl whisk the eggs together until combined. Add the rest of the wet ingredients and mix everything together.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir to combine. I use a spatula to fold in the flour and mix everything together but you can also use a whisk. The batter would be thick.
Fold in the berries and the chocolate chips.
Divide evenly among the 12 muffin cups. I use a large ice cream scooper for this. So handy! A full scoop per cup is about right. There is enough batter (nearly full) for each cup, sufficient to give your muffin a nice dome.
Bake for about 18-20 minutes or until a tester comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and after about 5-8 minutes (when it’s cool enough to handle) transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!

Serve me breakfast in bed with these and I will be your love forever! My husband has to make these fab strawberry and white chocolate muffins for me. So beautiful!
Gorgeous photos and such tempting muffins. Wonderful combination of strawberries and white chocolate. I look forward to making them soon.
Such a great flavor combo – in muffin form!
Using fresh strawberries sounds wonderful and the combination with white chocolate is just perfect for these muffins! These are definitely scrumptious looking!
I have a dumb question….on the sugar and the yogurt ingredients, you have 1 cup 1 cup….is that a typo, or is the quantity 2 cups of sugar and 2 cups of yogurt. That seems like an awful lot.
Hi Maureen, I was probably having a technical glitch (meaning that corrections didn’t update properly when I made them) which happens sometimes but glad you caught it. Updated it now and hopefully this time, it sticks. Anyway, it should just be 1 cup for both. Thanks!
Thank you, figured it was just an error, but wanted to make sure. I just looked at the recipe again before I saw your reply…thought for a sec I had imagined what I read before, then realized you corrected it. LOL Gonna make them today–I’m sure they’ll be delicious! Thank you!
These strawberry white chocolate muffins are so delicious!! Thanks for the recipe.
What a great combination of this white chocolate and strawberry! I made these muffins today, and they turned out perfectly! DELICIOUS!
I love making my own muffins and will definitely be trying this flavor combination asap!
I like how you’ve combined my two favorite flavors in these strawberry white chocolate muffins – the best muffins if you ask me! 🙂
Strawberry and white chocolate is a dream combination and these are so good!
These were the perfect light muffin!
They smelled so good when they came out of the oven, and tasted just as good as they smelled.
I never leave reviews on people’s pages, but this was worthy of noting that it was an excellent recipe.
Thank you!
So glad to know this Rachel! You made my day and thanks for kindly letting us know.
I made them using a lemon oil in place of the fruity oil, as I usually choose blood orange oil for this particular recipe. For the yogurt i used 2 small tubs of Oikos strawberry yogurt, a tad over the 8 oz, called for. They were excellent. This is my favorite fruit muffin recipe by far.
So glad you enjoyed these muffins! Thank you very much!
Hi there!
I was wondering how long these would keep in a Tupperware tub on the kitchen counter?!
Thanks
If properly stored, freshly-baked muffins will last for up 2 days at normal room temperature. I haven’t gone beyond that because it’s always all gone quick in our house. If you want it to last longer, place in the fridge or freeze and simply microwave to heat up.
Definitely the best of the best!
My toddlers loved them!
Thank you for sharing, happy day from Egypt!
Thank you for a wonderful recipe. Tasted amazing!
I used white chocolate buttons and they were all gone in ten minutes
Yay! So glad you enjoyed this. Thanks for letting us know.
Best muffin recipe ever! I can see myself using it as a base and changing up the flavour profiles. So glad I found your recipe.
Yes, it’s a great formula for muffins and that’s what I often do too! Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for letting us know!
these are amazing!! can you store leftovers at room temp or do they have to be refrigerated cause of the yogurt?
If it’s just overnight it should still be good at room temperature but if you’re storing it beyond that, to retain freshness, better to place muffins in an airtight container and refrigerate. You can also simply warm muffins briefly in a microwave before eating them, if you like.
SO YUMMY! I made these last weekend and they were a hit with my hungry boys. We are not huge fans of white chocolate, so I simply left them out and then added a bit more sugar (1/4 cup) as suggested since the strawberries were tart. They were just perfect. This recipe is a keeper!
I am so absolutely happy to know you enjoyed these muffins! They are delicious indeed. Thank you!
Silly question but what other fruits could you use in place of strawberries?
Take a pick – cranberries for the holidays, raspberries, blueberries – just to name a few. Choose your favorite berry or even mango should work.
They look so good. Taste even better!! You are definitely not going to want to lose this recipe . Delicious
I used strawberry Greek yogurt. My family loved them, did not last the day. They were devoured. Making more!
I am so delighted to know this! Thanks for letting us know.
I love these, I used corn oil, white sugar and plain organic yogourt. I did have to bake them a bit longer, 22 minutes did the trick. They are large and so moist! They are definitely a family favourite. Thank you!
So glad you enjoyed these yummy muffins! Thank you for letting us know.
I was wondering if you have tried them with gluten free flour 1:1 ?
No. I haven’t done it using gluten-free flour but it’s worth a try. Let us know if you do.
I made some today using Bob’s Red Mill Gluten-Free 1:1 and they turned out perfectly! I am very happy since my daughter is sensitive to wheat.
Yay! So glad it worked for you! Have to try this, too! Thank you!
