Description
Delicious muffins combining ripe bananas with a creamy cream cheese filling, perfect for breakfast or snacks.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups mashed bananas
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 5 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons whole milk
- 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and 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.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, sugar, egg, and vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Set aside.
- In a large bowl with an electric mixer, whip the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the sugar, milk, flour, and vanilla, mixing until well combined.
- Fill each muffin liner halfway with the banana batter. Distribute the cream cheese filling between each muffin and smooth out the top.
- Spoon the remaining banana batter on top of each muffin, smoothing out the top. Use a toothpick to swirl the tops, creating a lovely swirl.
- Bake muffins for 22-24 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then remove them and cool completely on a wire rack.
Notes
Use overripe bananas for better flavor and sweetness. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
