Ingredients

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

½ cup granulated sugar

½ teaspoon baking powder

¼ teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoon salt

1 large egg

¾ cup milk (any type)

⅓ cup vegetable oil

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup assorted fruits (e.g., blueberries, diced strawberries, kiwi, and mango)

½ cup cream cheese (softened)

2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup)

½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional, for dusting)

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or grease them lightly with cooking spray.

Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk everything together until well-mixed.

Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix—it’s okay if there are a few lumps.

Add the Fruits: Gently fold in the assorted fruits, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Fill the Muffin Pan: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin pan, filling each cup about 2/3 full.

Prepare the Cream Cheese Topping: In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and honey (or maple syrup) until smooth. You can also add a pinch of cinnamon for added flavor.

Add Cream Cheese Swirl: Using a small spoon or spatula, place a dollop of the cream cheese mixture on top of each muffin. Use a toothpick or knife to swirl it gently into the batter.

Bake the Muffins: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool and Garnish: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Before serving, you can dust the tops lightly with cinnamon and garnish with fresh mint leaves.

Serve and Enjoy: These fruity pizza muffins are perfect for breakfast, snacks, or dessert! Serve warm or at room temperature.
