Filled Muffins

(makes 12)

Ingredients:

- 1/4 c water + 1 T flax or chia (whole or ground)

- 1/3 c brown sugar

- 1/4 c canola oil or yogurt (I used canola)

- 1/2 c sour cream, yogurt, or cottage cheese (I used full fat, plain yogurt)

- 2 t vanilla

- 2 mashed bananas or 1/2 can pumpkin

- 1/2 c white flour

- 1/2 c whole wheat flour

- 1/2 t baking powder

- 1/2 t baking soda

- 1/4 t salt

- 1/4 c chocolate chips

- 4 oz cream cheese

- 1/8 c white sugar

- 3 T flour

Instructions:

- For the muffins: mix together the first 11 ingredients (through and including the salt). Line a muffin tin with muffin papers and divide the batter evenly in it. 

- For the filling: mix the final 3 ingredients and place a dollop on top of each muffin. 

- Sprinkle the muffins with chocolate chips (you'll see in my photo that I did an assortment of filled, unfilled, chocolate, etc.).

- Bake at 350 F for 20-22 minutes.

Enjoy,
