Soft cinnamon muffins with a luscious cream cheese center, a crisp cinnamon-sugar top, and an optional white chocolate drizzle. Cozy, bakery-style results with simple pantry ingredients.

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 (topping)

Optional: 1/4 cup white chocolate, melted (drizzle)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

2. Whisk flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl.

3. In another bowl, whisk melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.

4. Fold wet ingredients into dry until just combined; do not overmix.

5. Beat cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth.

6. Fill each liner halfway with batter. Add a spoonful of cream cheese filling, then cover with more batter.

7. Sprinkle tops with cinnamon sugar.

8. Bake 18–20 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick inserted in the muffin (not the filling) comes out clean.

9. Cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.

10. Drizzle with melted white chocolate if desired.

Notes

For gluten-free, use a 1:1 GF flour with xanthan gum; texture may vary slightly.

For dairy-free, use plant milk and a block-style dairy-free cream cheese.

Store airtight at room temp 1 day; refrigerate up to 3 days; freeze up to 2 months.
