Banana Cheesecake Muffins Recipe

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 ripe bananas, mashed
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tbsp vanilla extract

Directions:

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 granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and mashed bananas until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
In a small bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Fill each muffin cup halfway with banana batter, add a spoonful of cream cheese mixture, then top with more banana batter to fill each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Allow muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
