Cream Cheese-Filled Banana Bread Muffins Recipe by Tasty

Instructions:

Prepare the Muffins:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla and mashed bananas until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
- Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth and creamy.
Assemble the Muffins:
- Fill each muffin cup halfway with banana batter. Add a spoonful of cream cheese mixture, then top with more banana batter until cups are about 3/4 full.
Bake:
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Cool muffins in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Pro Tips:

Use Overripe Bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be.
Don’t Overmix: Overmixing the batter can make the muffins dense. Mix just until combined.
Customize Toppings: Add a sprinkle of crushed nuts, chocolate chips, or cinnamon on top for an extra flavor boost.
