BANANA MUFFINS WITH CREAM CHEESE FILLING RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Banana Muffins with Cream Cheese Filling Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by MJH

Number Of Ingredients 15

FILLING:
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
MUFFIN BATTER:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup sugar
2 bananas, mashed
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup oil
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 12-cup standard muffin pan. In a small bowl, beat together cream cheese, sugar, and egg. Put bowl in refrigerator while you make the muffin batter. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and soda, salt, and sugar; set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together bananas, buttermilk, oil, eggs, and vanilla. Pour wet ingredients into the large bowl filled with flour mixture then stir with wooden spoon just until the mixture is combined. Spoon enough batter into muffins cups so that they are just under halfway full. Add one spoonful of cream cheese mixture into each cup, then top with remaining muffin batter. Muffin cups will end up being almost completely full. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes at 375°F. Check after 20 minutes, muffins are done when a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use ripe bananas. Overripe bananas will give your muffins a sweeter, more intense banana flavor.
  • If you don't have cream cheese, you can substitute sour cream or Greek yogurt.
  • You can add chopped nuts, dried fruit, or chocolate chips to your muffins for extra flavor and texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make your muffins tough.
  • Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full. This will prevent them from overflowing in the oven.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Conclusion:

Banana cream cheese muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of muffins that will be enjoyed by everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty snack, give banana cream cheese muffins a try.
