Step-by-Step Instructions for Banana Cream Cheese Muffins
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the overripe bananas until smooth, then add granulated sugar and light brown sugar, mixing until well blended.
- Stir in the egg, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- Fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients gradually until just combined.
- Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared muffin liners, filling each one about three-quarters full.
- In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until silky and smooth, then mix in granulated sugar, egg yolk, and a splash of vanilla extract.
- Spoon a dollop of the cream cheese mixture onto each muffin and swirl lightly with a toothpick.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 16-18 minutes.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes
For best results, use ripe bananas and avoid overmixing to keep muffins light and fluffy.
