Equipment

  • 24-count muffin tin
  • 6-count jumbo muffin tin (depending on which you are using)
  • muffins liners
  • Hand mixer
  • large & medium bowl
  • Whisk
  • Spoon
  • Ice cream scooper

Ingredients

Cream Cheese Swirl

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350° Fahrenheit. Line your muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  • Whisk together all dry ingredients in a large bowl and then add in the wet ones to the same bowl. Use a wooden spoon to just mix batter. A few minor flour streaks are okay! If you over mix the batter, the muffins will be flat and tough.
  • Using a large ice cream scoop, add the batter nicely to the paper-lined muffin tin wells. You will want to fill the muffin wells 3/4 way. (Don’t overfill since they still need the cream cheese swirl.)
  • In a medium-sized bowl add the room temperature cream cheese, extract, and sugar. Beat on medium speed until fluffy and lump-free.
  • Using a spoon, add 1 1/2-2 tablespoons of cream cheese batter to each muffin. Use a toothpick to swirl the tops of each.
  • Bake muffins for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffin comes out clean.
  • Allow muffins to cool for 15 minutes before enjoying.
