Strawberry Cream Filled Lemon Muffins

 

Strawberry Cream Filled Lemon Muffins Recipe l www.a-kitchen-addiction.com

I don’t know about where you live, but strawberries have been on sale a lot around here. This makes me happy because I love strawberries.

As a result, we’ve been eating a lot of them! Normally we end up eating all of them plain, because we both like fresh strawberries.

However, the last package I bought was four pounds, so I was able to sneak some into these strawberry cream filled lemon muffins before they were all eaten!

Sweet, juicy strawberries are the perfect filling for these light lemon muffins.

The strawberries are mixed with cream cheese and a bit of confectioner’s sugar to make each bit of these muffins a sweet combination of strawberry and lemon.

The actual muffin is lightened up with yogurt and filled with fresh lemon juice and zest. 

If you are looking for a new snack or breakfast to add to your menu, these muffins are the perfect springtime addition!

I was seriously just going to make some strawberry lemon muffins, because I have some greek yogurt in the fridge that needs used up! I love the idea of your cream filling.

I recently purchased 7 pounds of strawberries. I couldn't resist, they were on sale. I chopped and ate and froze them. And, I've been baking with them a lot. These muffins look so good. Love that filling.
