Directions

1 Heat oven to 400°F. Grease bottoms only of 12 regular-size muffin cups with shortening or spray, or line with paper baking cups. In small bowl, mix all filling ingredients until smooth; set aside.
2 In large bowl, beat milk, oil and egg with fork or wire whisk. Stir in remaining muffin ingredients just until flour is moistened. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups.
3 Place about 1 rounded teaspoon filling on batter in each muffin cup. Top with remaining batter.
4 Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from pan to cooling rack (may need to run knife around side of muffins to loosen). Cool 5 minutes. Serve warm or cool.

The recipe does not state how much batter to set aside to cover the filling with... this information would be helpful

I wasn't impressed with this recipe. They were easy to make; but I found the taste very bland & dry. The 'surprise' cream cheese filling was barely noticeable & adds nothing to the muffin's texture or taste in my opinion. *Note: Cream cheese does come in a 3 oz package as well as the standard 8 oz. Your store may or may not carry it (mine does). I won't be making these again

Excellent taste, but I think the recipe needs some clarification. * The amount of cream cheese says 1 package (3 oz). However, a package is 8 ounces. I used about 3 ounces. * Step 2 fails to mention that you should hold aside some batter to put on top of the cream cheese. * As another reviewer noted, in my gas oven, the muffins took less time to cook, around 15 minutes. * I did not try the sugar on top, because the "Special Touch" was not in the list of steps and I did not notice it. I imagine it would be awesome.
