How to Make Banana Muffins With Cream Cheese

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the tin.
2. In a small bowl, cream together 4 ounces (113g) softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar, and 1 large egg until smooth and creamy. Refrigerate while preparing the muffin batter.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar.
4. In a medium bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas with a fork. Add 1 cup (240ml) buttermilk, 1/2 cup (120ml) vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula just until the batter is moistened. Do not overmix.
6. Fill each muffin cup about halfway full with batter.
7. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the chilled cream cheese mixture into the center of each muffin.
8. Top with the remaining muffin batter, filling the cups almost to the top.
9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking at 20 minutes.
10. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
