Make it Monday: Cream Cheese muffins

Stop what you are doing and make these (well after you read the recipe of course) 

I got this recipe from Penzy's Spices catalog called:

Kris's Cream Cheese Cupcakes

If you have seen other posts you know we like to go there from time to time and the catalog always has some yummy recipes!

Preheat the oven to 350*

Ingredients: 

8 oz. cream cheese 1 egg 1/3 Cup sugar 1 tsp. baking soda 1/8 tsp. KOSHER-STYLE FLAKE SALT 6 oz. chocolate chips 11/2 Cups flour 1 Cup sugar 1/4 Cup COCOA POWDER 1/2 tsp. kosher salt 1 Cup water 1/3 Cup canola oil 11/2 tsp. apple cider vinegar 1 tsp. PURE VANILLA EXTRACT

 In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese, egg, sugar and salt. 

Fold in the chocolate chips and set aside.

In another bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, COCOA POWDER, baking soda and salt.

Add the water, oil, vinegar and VANILLA. Beat until well-blended.

Fill muffin cups lined with cupcake papers 1/3 full with chocolate batter. 

Top each one with 1 tsp. of the cream cheese mixture.

 Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes. 

These are DEFINITELY a keeper!

I see me making these again in the near future...
