03 - In a separate bowl, beat eggs, then whisk in vegetable oil, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
04 - Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix to maintain tender muffins.
05 - Gently fold diced strawberries and white chocolate chips into the batter using a spatula.
06 - Divide batter evenly among prepared muffin cups, filling each approximately 3/4 full.
07 - Bake for 20 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • They stay moist and tender for hours, so you can make them ahead without any worry.
  • Fresh strawberries burst with juice in every bite, balanced perfectly by the creamy sweetness of white chocolate.
  • Honestly, they taste like you spent way more time on them than you actually did.
02 -
  • Don't thaw frozen strawberries if you use them—they release too much liquid and make the batter soggy, so add them straight from the freezer.
  • The moment you see the toothpick come out mostly clean, pull them out—a few moist crumbs are perfect, but waiting too long turns them dry.
03 -
  • Use a cookie scoop to fill your muffin cups evenly—it takes the guesswork out and ensures they all bake at the same rate.
  • Line your muffin tin even if it's nonstick, because the paper makes it easier to grab warm muffins without burning your fingers, plus the papers just make them feel special.
