Chocolate muffin recipes never get old, and every bite is just as exciting and sweet as the first.
But imagine throwing a bit of creamy and ever-so-slightly tangy filling into the mix. Wouldn’t that offset the sweetness (in a good way) and elevate the flavor profile?
We definitely think so!
Plus, the dense filling balances the airy texture perfectly.
Rather than waste your time trying to explain how much the stuffing is a game-changer, let’s jump right into the recipe and bake some cream cheese chocolate muffins!

Stuffed Delicacies: Cream Cheese Chocolate Muffins
Equipment
Ingredients
Cupcakes:
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (340 g)
- 1½ cups flour
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- ½ tsp. salt
- ½ cup sugar (100 g)
- ⅓ cup oil (66 g)
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 cup water
Cream Cheese Filling:
- ¾ cup cream cheese (at room temperature (170 g))
- ¼ cup sugar (50 g)
- 1 large egg
- ⅛ tsp. salt
Instructions
Batter Prep:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175 °C).
- Line your tins with paper liners (silicone ones are okay, too).
- Blast half a cup of chocolate chips in the microwave for 45 seconds and stir them around.
- Set the bowl of chocolate aside to cool down.
- Grab a medium-sized bowl and mix the flour with the salt and baking soda.
- In a different (and larger) bowl, beat the eggs with the oil, sugar, and vanilla extract.
- Pour your melted chocolate into the large bowl and mix.
- Start pouring the contents of the medium bowl into the large one gradually, and alternate with small amounts of water.
- Blend everything to make a runny batter.
Filling:
- Using your electric mixer, blend the cream cheese with the egg, sugar, and salt.
- Once it’s homogeneous and creamy, add a cup of chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into your tins, filling each muffin mold only halfway through.
- Add one scoop of your cream cheese mix on top of the batter.
- Fill up the rest of the muffin cups with batter.
- Pop the tin into the preheated oven and set the timer for 20–25 minutes.
- Once the cupcakes are out of the oven, garnish them using what’s left of the chocolate chips (half a cup).
- Let the tin cool down for around 5 minutes.
Tips
- This recipe makes around 16 standard-size cupcakes, so you’ll likely need more than one muffin tin.
- If your chocolate chips aren’t fully melted after 45 minutes, you can microwave them for an extra 10-second interval.
- It’s important to sprinkle the chocolate chips while the cupcakes are still hot. This way, the chips will warm up just enough to look nice and glossy!
