These gooey cinnamon cream cheese muffins combine a soft, buttery cinnamon-spiced muffin with a luscious cream cheese filling for a perfectly sweet and cozy treat that’s easy to make and absolutely delicious.

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup milk

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1 tablespoon cinnamon sugar mixture (for topping)

Optional: 1/4 cup white chocolate, melted (for drizzle)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
  3. In another bowl, whisk melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. In a small bowl, mix softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
  6. Spoon half the muffin batter into prepared cups, add a teaspoon of cream cheese mixture in the center of each, then cover with remaining batter.
  7. Sprinkle tops with cinnamon sugar mixture.
  8. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until tops are golden and a toothpick inserted near the edge comes out clean.
  9. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Drizzle with melted white chocolate if desired.

Notes

Add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts for extra texture.

Use reduced-fat cream cheese for a lighter version.

Replace some butter with applesauce for a lower-fat option.

Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins light and fluffy.

Freeze baked muffins for up to 3 months; reheat before serving.
