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

(continued in the next column ↗️)

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.
