Step 2

Once done, grease your muffin tray with some non-stick cooking spray, then divide the muffin butter into each cup, about half to three-quarters of the way. Next, divide the cream cheese mixture into each cup, placing them right into the center, then take a knife and swirl in the cream cheese mixture into the batter. Place the muffin tray into the preheated oven at 350 degrees F and bake the muffins for 18 to 20 minutes.
