This is perfect for low carb/gluten free followers, especially if you have a sweet tooth! They are much better cold so you need to resist temptation when they come out of the oven. You can add other flavours to them too. I have made batches with lemon and blueberries that were yummy. Oh, and another batch with cinnamon mixed into the batter. They were very good.
They taste like mini cheesecakes and are a great way to start the day. Or morning. Or afternoon. Who I am kidding...anytime is cream cheese muffin time!

Hi, what’s the best way to mix everything? A hand mixer or vitamix blender? Or something else? Thanks 🙂
Angela Coleby
Either would work. You need the mixture smooth.

I stretched mine to 24 muffins. They were nice size and delicious but they took longer than 20 minutes.

Hi Angela, thank you for sharing your recipe. I am not a baker, so I was wondering if you thought it would be possible to replace the sweetener with berries, or if that would just ruin them? Thanks for your help 🙂 Cynthia

Hi, I can't see why not!

Hey! Your recipe rocks! Great low cal pick me up 🙂 I also tried 1/2 the erythritol and 1/2 unflavored protein powder to balance out some macros for me! Tastes great too!
Thanks!

Can you post exact amount of cream cheese please. I have to use marscopone or ricotta in France which come in 250g rubs

I use the 200g tubs of Cream cheese, such as Philiadelhia, but 250g would be fine. Would recommend a nice sprinkling of cinnamon on top!
