Today, we’re diving into the world of Gooey Cinnamon Cream Cheese Muffins, the perfect combination of a warm cinnamon-spiced batter and a creamy, cheesy filling. Whether you’re making them for breakfast, a snack, or a delightful dessert, these muffins are sure to become a family favorite!

Let’s get baking and discover how easy it is to create these mouthwatering muffins at home. 😊

Ingredients

Scale
  • 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)

These ingredients work together to create a soft, flavorful muffin with a gooey center. If you’re looking to make substitutions for dietary needs, you can use gluten-free flour or dairy-free cream cheese. Keep in mind, however, that these changes may slightly alter the texture and flavor of the final product.

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to dense muffins.
  5. In a small bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar until smooth.
  6. 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.
  7. Sprinkle the tops with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  8. 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.
  9. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. If desired, drizzle with melted white chocolate for an extra touch of sweetness before serving.

And there you have it—a batch of warm, gooey muffins ready to be devoured!

Equipment

Notes

  • To ensure a smooth, creamy filling, make sure your cream cheese is fully softened before mixing with powdered sugar.
  • Don’t overfill the muffin liners; this will prevent the batter from overflowing during baking.
  • If you want a bit of extra cinnamon flavor, you can swirl some cinnamon sugar into the batter before adding the cream cheese.
