Cream cheese is soft, sweet, and slightly tangy, which is why it works so well in muffins. You can turn all muffin recipes into cream cheese muffins if you want more texture and flavour. After putting the batter in your muffin tins, you simply add a small scoop of your favourite cream cheese and bake according to the recipe. You can also substitute some of the butter in your recipe with cream cheese to make it mushier.
