Instruction
- Preheat the oven to 220C / gas mark 8.
- Using squares of grease proof paper, line your muffin tins (14 muffins total) and place to one side.
- In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and flour for the crumble top. Add the butter small pieces and rub together until you've formed breadcrumbs.
- In a larger bowl, cream together the butter and golden caster sugar for the muffin mix.
- Beat well until pale and creamy.
- Add in the brown sugar and continue to beat.
- Once the brown sugar is incorporated add the eggs and beat until the mix gets even paler and more creamy. It should also increase in volume.
- Next add the yogurt and vanilla and beat for another minute.
- Pour the flour into the wet muffin mix and fold gently until just about incorporated - be careful not to over mix, some dry patches of flour is fine.
- Add in the strawberries and fold again until evenly distributed then place the bowl to one side.
- In a separate small bowl, mix together the cream cheese, egg yolk, orange zest and icing sugar for the cheesecake filling.
- Mix well to ensure its smooth and creamy.
- Begin spooning the muffin mix into each muffin case, 1 tablespoon at a time.
- Next spoon over a tablespoon of the cheesecake mix and repeat until the muffin cases are full to the top.
- Once all of the cases are filled press the crumble top into the surface of each muffin.
- Bake in the hot oven for five minutes before turning the temperate down 180C / gas mark 4 and bake for a further 20 minutes or until golden and springy.
- Allow the muffins to cool on a cooling rack.
- Enjoy while still warm.
