Provided by Culinary Envy

Categories     Bread     Quick Bread Recipes     Muffin Recipes     Banana Muffin Recipes

Time 1h20m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 ½ cups boiling water
¾ cup old-fashioned oats
½ cup butter at room temperature
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
1 cup mashed overripe bananas

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut

¼ cup heavy whipping cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.

Important tips to follow when making cheese poke muffins include using room temperature ingredients, not over-beating the batter, and not over-baking the muffins.

Here are some additional tips to help ensure your cheese poke muffins turn out perfectly

  • Use freshly grated cheese. Pre-shredded cheese contains additives that can prevent it from melting properly.
  • Be sure to use full- fat cream cheese. Using low- or non- fat cream cheese will result in a dry, crumbly muffin.
  • Don't over-stuff the muffin pans. The muffins should only fill the pans about 2/3 of the way full, to allow for expansion as they bake.
  • Bake the muffins at a high temperature (400 degrees F) for the first few minutes, then reduce the heat to 350 degrees F for the rest of the baking time. This will help create a crispy crust on the outside of the muffins while keeping the inside moist.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before serving. This will allow the cheese to firm up and the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion

Cheese poke muffins are a quick and easy breakfast treat or party appetizer that is sure to please a crowd. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create delicious muffins that are perfect for any occasion.

Be sure to follow the tips above to ensure your muffins turn out perfectly every time.
