Gooey Cinnamon Cream Cheese Muffins

Gooey Cinnamon Cream Cheese Muffins

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup milk

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1 tablespoon cinnamon sugar mixture (for topping)

Optional: 1/4 cup white chocolate, melted (for drizzle)

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and 

ground cinnamon.

In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix 

well.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

In a small bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar until 

smooth.

Fill each muffin liner halfway with the batter. Add a spoonful of the cream cheese 

mixture in the center, then top with more batter to cover the cream cheese.

Sprinkle the tops with the cinnamon sugar mixture.

Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick 

inserted into the muffin (not the cream cheese center) comes out clean.

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire 

rack to cool completely.

If desired, drizzle with melted white chocolate before serving.
