Muffin Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 12 muffin cups with liners, set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
  • Whisk together the mashed bananas, sugar, egg, and vanilla in a medium bowl. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until combined; set aside.
  • In a large bowl with an electric mixer, whip the cream cheese on medium speed until smooth.
  • Add the sugar, milk, flour, and vanilla, and mix until combined.
  • Fill each muffin liner halfway full with the muffin batter.
  • Evenly distribute the creamy filling between each muffin. Smooth out the top.
  • Add the remaining batter on top of each muffin. Smooth out the top and take a toothpick to swirl the tops.
  • Bake muffins for 22-24 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool for 5 minutes in the muffin tin, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

This makes a big batch of 12 muffins, but you can easily double it to feed more or halve the recipe as needed. Great for a make-ahead breakfast. This freezes well.
