# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They're genuinely easy to make, with no fancy techniques or temperamental ingredients to worry about.
  • The white chocolate melts into creamy little surprises that balance the bright tartness of fresh strawberries.
  • You'll have twelve muffins by the time you finish your coffee, perfect for sharing or sneaking extras throughout the week.
02 -
  • Don't thaw frozen strawberries if you want to use them; the ice crystals actually help them stay intact and not bleed into the batter.
  • The moment you see liquid pooling at the bottom of your batter bowl after mixing is the moment you stop stirring—that's your signal that overmixing is near.
03 -
  • If you want extra brightness and complexity, add 1/2 teaspoon of lemon zest to your dry ingredients—it wakes up the strawberry flavor in a way that feels subtle until someone asks what makes yours taste different.
  • White chocolate can be temperamental in baking, so use chips rather than melting it yourself; they stay intact and creamy better than chunks you've chopped from a bar.
