I have been searching for a good muffin base for a very long time. My Mom has an excellent one. You can put anything you like in the base and it tastes fantastic. So I have been searching for my own. Finally, I think I may have found it...
My son has been sick for a couple days with a cold. Poor little man, just feeling crummy all day is no fun. So tonight, when we were trying to convince him to eat some supper I decided maybe I could try out this new recipe and get him to have a muffin before bed.
I had a block of cream cheese in the fridge I wanted to use up so this was a perfect choice. The only variation I did was use 2% milk instead of cream - I just didn't have any.
These were FANTASTIC!!! I think we may have a winner here. I look forward to trying them with blueberries very soon!
Don't be alarmed, the batter is quite thick. I had to take a picture because I was sure they were not going to be any good. Thankfully, I was wrong.
Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Muffins AKA Heaven
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 egg, room temperature
1/2 cup cream (I used 2% milk)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup white sugar
3 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1. Preheat oven to 400 F, lightly grease 12 muffin cups or use paper liners.
2. Beat cream cheese and butter together until fluffy. Beat in egg, cream and vanilla. Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and chocolate chips. Stir flour mixture into cream cheese mixture until flour is moistened. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups filling them 3/4 full.
3. Bake in preheated oven until tops are golden, about 20 mins.
