Tips:

  • Use softened cream cheese: Softened cream cheese will mix more easily with the other ingredients and create a smoother batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups evenly: Fill each muffin cup evenly with batter so that the muffins rise evenly.
  • Bake the muffins at a moderate temperature: Bake the muffins at a moderate temperature of 350°F (175°C) to prevent them from overcooking.
  • Don't overbake the muffins: Overbaking the muffins can make them dry. Bake the muffins just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the muffins cool before serving: Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before serving so that they are easier to handle and the flavors can develop.

Conclusion:

These cream cheese muffin puffs are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack.
