Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin pan with paper liners or grease each cup.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash bananas. Stir in granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet bananas, stirring gently until just combined.
- If desired, fold in chopped nuts.
- Spoon the batter into the muffin pan, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
- In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese with granulated sugar until smooth. Mix in egg yolk and vanilla extract, adding milk if needed.
- Dollop the cream cheese mixture atop the muffin batter, swirling gently with a toothpick.
- Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
For best results, use ripe bananas and avoid overmixing the batter. Ensure cream cheese is softened for easy blending.
