  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven and prepare muffin tin: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Prepare muffin batter: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, whisk melted butter, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Combine wet and dry ingredients until just combined.
  3. Make cream cheese filling: Beat softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.

  5. Bake: Bake for 18-22 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool slightly before serving.

Notes
