Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 0.75 cup milk
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons optional powdered sugar (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups with non-stick spray.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
Step 4
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon just until the batter comes together. Do not overmix; lumps are okay.
Step 5
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Step 7
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
If desired, dust the tops of the muffins with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
Step 9
Enjoy your cream cheese muffins fresh, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
