Thank you for posting this! I have used this recipe twice now and just now almost freaked out because I had lost the url address. This time I’ll make sure I copy the recipe down. I do agree with another poster though, putting 1/2 the egg in with the cream cheese makes the in-the-muffin icing less runny. Then I just mixed the other 1/2 of the egg in with the batter.

Hi Nicole. I just wanted to say that I’m a fan of your blog I’ve been wanting to learn how to bake/cook for a long time and I was inspired by your website to just start doing it.

And the muffins were great! hehehe – L

[...] meat, veggies, pasta, and whatnot, they seem more complicated than baking. I used a recipe from PinchMySalt, my new favorite [...]

I’m trying these tonight and testing it with ganache in the center and one batch with chocolate chips & cream cheese filled-all I have is marscapone cheese instead of cream cheese.
They look great Nicole, I’ll let ya know how it goes!

I’ve made these twice now, and I’m having the same problem as Hui Min. The cream cheese mixture is too loose, and when I plop the last bit of batter on top of it, it swallows the batter and oozes up around it to come to the top of the muffin pan. The muffins themselves are good, although they mine are rising more than what it looks like from in the picture. I’m going to try to add less baking powder if I make them again.

Also, it would be nice if a size estimate was given on the bananas, or an approximate measurement once mashed. The bananas I buy tend to be on the small side, and the first batch wasn’t banana-y enough, so I added three this time.

Baking right now. After I read the comments, added only half the egg into the cream cheese mixture, still seems a bit loose, but will let you know. Crossing my fingers

I made these last week because I had tasted some cheesecake muffins at a bakery that had some lemon cream cheese filling. But I had some problems with the filling mixture being very watery even after chilling for 2 hours. When I tried to fill the muffins, the cheese mix spread all over, and after baking, the muffins didn’t look like they were filled. However, the muffins were very tender because the cream cheese sank into the muffin batter. The muffins still smelled and tasted amazing though! Do you think maybe leaving out the egg would make the cream cheese stay together better?

I just made these… I was afraid I did something wrong because I could not get the cream cheese mix to stop oozing out the sides of the muffin and around the outside of each cup when I was filling the pan… but they turned out just fine. I added some blueberries also. Somehow I got 11 muffins and one muffin cup full of cream cheese mix and blueberries – which was perfect for dessert after baking the muffins this evening

Fantastic idea on the muffins!
