Chocolate Cream Cheese Muffins are moist, chocolatey muffins filled with a sweet cream cheese center, making them a rich and indulgent breakfast or dessert treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (for filling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, oil, egg, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
  5. In a small bowl, beat cream cheese, 1/4 cup sugar, egg yolk, and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract until smooth.
  6. Fill each muffin cup halfway with chocolate batter. Add a spoonful of cream cheese mixture to the center, then top with remaining batter.
  7. Bake for 18–22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean around the edges (the cream cheese center will remain soft).
  8. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • These muffins taste great chilled or warmed up slightly.
  • Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top before baking for added chocolatey goodness.
