Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners or lightly grease with nonstick spray.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and garlic powder until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, cut the cream cheese into small cubes (about 1/2 inch) and set aside.
Step 4
In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, and milk until fully incorporated.
Step 5
Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to prevent tough muffins.
Step 6
Fold the cream cheese cubes into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Step 7
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 9
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Optionally, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the muffins for added color and flavor before serving.
