Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners or lightly grease with nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and garlic powder until well combined.
In a separate bowl, cut the cream cheese into small cubes (about 1/2 inch) and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, and milk until fully incorporated.
Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to prevent tough muffins.
Fold the cream cheese cubes into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optionally, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the muffins for added color and flavor before serving.
