Prepare the Oven and Tray

  • Start by preheating your oven to 180°C or 350°F. Line your muffin tray with paper liners. This helps muffins bake evenly and prevents sticking. Preparation is important for perfect Strawberry Cream Cheese Muffins Recipe results. Make sure everything is ready before mixing the batter.

Mix Wet Ingredients
