Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
To make the cheesecake filling, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar in a small bowl until creamy and smooth.
Spoon a tablespoon of the chocolate batter into each muffin liner, spreading it to cover the bottom.
Add a teaspoon of the cheesecake filling on top of the batter in each liner.
Sprinkle a few chocolate chips over the cheesecake filling, and then top with another tablespoon of chocolate batter, ensuring the filling is mostly covered.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the muffin portion comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your Chocolate Cheesecake Muffins as a special treat!
