Baking is lots of fun, especially since you get to eat the fruits of your labor. One of our favorite holiday desserts is Cream Cheese Muffins. I make these every fall around Thanksgiving time and offer them in a basket as a host gift, or to guests for snacks. They are airy and delicious and full of rich flavor!
Cheesecake Muffins Recipe
Ingredients
2 8 oz packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
4 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
1. In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth, then whisk in the egg, milk, butter, and vanilla.
2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt.
3. Stir cream cheese mixture into dry ingredients just until moistened.
4. Spoon batter into greased muffin cups about 1/2 full (will rise while baking).
5. Bake at 375° for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
6. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack.
This recipe makes about two dozen yummy cheesecake muffins.
I love stevia so any treat would be great.
I love truvia. Use it in my coffee every morning. Your cream cheesy cheesecake muffins sound insane. I’d love to make those or, uh, y’know, volunteer as a taste tester for yours! 🙂
I would love to try it, to make some candy cane cookies!

I would use it in peanutbutter cookies. I do want to try the cheesecake muffins too.
I’d love to make an apple crisp.
The holiday cookies I’m most excited to try with Truvía® Baking Blend would be the Triple Chocolate Almond Cookies that I make every year! 🙂

These look so good. I love Truvia in my tea but I have never tried to bake with it.
I would love to try this in my pumpkin roll!
I would love to try using Truvia to make my classic Buckeyes! I would be pretty demanding of its performance, but I would definitely be rooting for it to work. They are so delicious, but the original recipe is like ten pounds rolled up into a little chocolate peanut butter ball! 🙂
Thanks!

Could I halve this recipe? I am going to make it and add a cup of chopped fresh cranberries!
Yep, it works perfectly halved or doubled!
Thank you!
These look delicious.
I’ve never tried baking with this.
These sound amazing! I just discovered my love for cheesecake recently- a dangerous new find!
