Preparation Steps
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and unsalted butter until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Gradually add granulated sugar to the mixture, blending until smooth for about 1-2 minutes.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each, then add vanilla extract and mix for another 2 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt for about 1 minute.
- Carefully alternate adding the dry ingredients and milk to the cream cheese mixture until just combined.
- Gently fold in any mix-ins like chocolate chips, berries, or nuts.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a muffin tin with liners or grease it lightly.
- Spoon batter into each muffin cup, filling them about two-thirds full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes
Use room temperature ingredients for the best mixing outcome and avoid overmixing to keep muffins fluffy.
