ingredients

Muffins
- 1 cup flour
- 1⁄2 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1⁄4 cup cocoa powder
- 1⁄2 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1⁄4 cup oil
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
-
Filling
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1⁄4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 drops almond extract
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
directions
- Mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and cocoa powder in large bowl, set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350ºF; grease muffin tins.
- In small bowl, make filling: beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar, almond extract and cornstarch until uniformly fluffy - set aside.
- In separate bowl, beat together milk, egg, oil and extract.
- Add milk mix to flour mix. Mix just until you no longer see any dry bits in the batter.
- Fill the bottoms of muffin cups with approximately 2 Tablespoons batter (about 1/3 full). Dab a spoonful of cream cheese filling in middle of each muffin cup, making sure filling isn't touching any of the sides. Cover up cream cheese with rest of batter, filling muffin cups until they are 3/4 full. Work as quickly as you can, so cream cheese doesn't sink to bottom.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes.

Ok, these did not have a rich chocolate flavor at all. The cheesecake part was dry, most likely from the added cornstarch. The little kids liked these, but the adults and older kids did not. I might try these again, omitting the cornstarch..BUT true cheesecake has eggs in it. Also, used vanilla instead of almond, due to allergy.

These muffins taste great! I think I was a little heavy handed with the ‘base’ of the muffins, and barely had enough mixture to cover the tops of the last couple. But I’ll know better for next time. I might use vanilla essence instead of almond for the cheese filling too, just for something different.
