Chocolate Cream Cheese Muffins

Chocolate Cream Cheese Muffins- This easy muffin recipe gets two thumbs up from me because it hardly takes any time to bake them. The muffins are soft and moist, and the pools of melted chocolate chips make them extra indulgent. The tangy touch of cream cheese and Greek yogurt strikes the right notes in every way.

Instructions

Chocolate Muffins

Preheat your oven to 180C. Grease and flour a muffin tray or line it with paper baking cups.
Combine the milk and vinegar in a small bowl. Keep aside for 5 minutes.
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Whisk in the sugar.
Into the milk- vinegar mixture, add in the oil, and vanilla extract.
Pour over the dry ingredients and mix well. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups dividing the batter evenly and filling about 2/3 full. There should be some chocolate batter left over.
Add a tablespoon or 2 of the cheesecake mixture.
Top each muffin with the remaining chocolate batter and lightly swirl the batters, using a toothpick or a knife.
Add some more chocolate chips on top, this is optional.
Bake for about 25-26 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, not wet batter.
Let them cool for about 10 minutes, so the cream cheese filling has time to set. Then turn over a wire rack. Serve them warm or cooled to room temperature. Enjoy!
Store the leftovers in an air-tight container in the refrigerator.

cream Cheese Batter

Beat the cream cheese with the Greek yogurt, flour, icing sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
