I’m trying to make new things for breakfast since my husband is working night shift these days. One of his favorite kind of muffins is cream cheese muffins. These muffins has a surprise sweet creamy center when you bite into them and the sugary crumbles on top is perfect with this creamy center.

Ingredients:

Makes 12 muffins

3 C flour
1 C sugar
4 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
2/3 C milk
1/2 C vegetable oil
2 large eggs
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 C sugar

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line your muffin tin with cupcake liners.

Mix together the flour, 1 cup of sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.

In another bowl stir together milk, oil, and eggs. Combine with the dry ingredients. Stir until just moistened.

Combine cream cheese and 1 cup of sugar. Gently mix half of this mixture into the muffin batter.

Fill muffin tins about 1/2 to 2/3 full with batter. Spoon the remaining cream cheese mixture onto the muffins, with the back of a spoon push the mixture into each muffin.

Topping:
1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup sugar

1/4 C butter, softened

Combine ingredients. Sprinkle generously over muffins. Bake 24 to 30 minutes until golden brown.
