Strawberry and White Chocolate Muffins

I have been itching to bake for quite some time now. I just couldn't find the time to.

I bought strawberries last Friday hoping to bake strawberry and white chocolate muffins on Saturday, but what a waste... I too busy reading the Hunger Games series (Can you believe I finished all 3 books in less than a week?! I know I keep talking about it, and I'm really late, but I still need to watch the movie!) 


Anyways, these muffins were inspired by Einstein Bagels. In college, there was an Einstein Bagels right outside of my classroom. So most mornings, I would stop in an get some coffee and one of their strawberry and white chocolate muffins before heading to class. I miss them so much, so I had to try to replicate it. The cinnamon streusel topping I added gives it an extra OOMPH!
