Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 c high grade flour
3/4 c sugar (i use stevia or splenda)
4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp of your favorite ground spice (i used cinnamon and a bit of ginger)
5 Tbsp butter
1 large egg
1/2 c light sour cream (milk or yogurt will do)
1/4 c juice (use what you can extract from the fruit you are using or have in your fridge)
1 1/2 c fruit, chopped into whatever size pieces you fancy
1/2 c firm cream cheese, cubed

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 400 dF. Prepare your favourite muffin pans.
2. Mix first 4 dry ingredients in a bowl with a fork until well combined.
3. In another bowl, heat the butter until liquid and mix in the sour cream, juice, egg and fruit pieces with a fork.
4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Add cubed cream cheese and fold together until just combined (there should be no large patches of flour, do not mix further) and cream cheese is evenly distributed but still in chunks (be gentle!).
5. Spoon mix into prepared muffin pans (I got 14 out of my batch). If you are a real cream cheese fan (which I am!!) add a teaspoon (or a sm. cube) of cream cheese in the center of each muffin.
6. Bake for 15-to-20 minutes or until muffins are golden and when you touch the center of one it springs back. Enjoy!
