Muffins

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup milk
1/2 vegetable oil
2 large eggs
8 ounces cream cheese, softened

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease/spray a 12-cup muffin tin and set aside.

Combine flour, 1 cup of sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center.

Stir together milk, oil, and eggs. Pour into well in the dry ingredients. Stir just until dry ingredients are moistened.

Combine cream cheese and 1 cup of sugar. Fold about half of this mixture into the muffin batter.

Spoon batter into greased muffin pans, about 1/2 to 2/3 full. Spoon the remaining cream cheese mixture onto the muffins, pressing the mix into each muffin with a spoon handle.
