Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 large egg

1 cup milk (or non-dairy milk)

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup mixed fresh fruits (such as strawberries, blueberries, and diced pineapple)

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

2 tablespoons maple syrup (optional)

1/4 cup powdered sugar (for topping)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Whisk together until evenly blended.

      Prepare Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until thoroughly mixed.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold them together using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

          Add Fruits: Carefully fold in the mixed fresh fruits, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

            Fill Muffin Tin: Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling each cup about 2/3 full.

              Cream Cheese Topping: In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with maple syrup (if using) until smooth. Spoon a small dollop over the center of each muffin, swirling it gently with a toothpick for a marbled effect.

                Bake: Place the muffins in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                  Cool & Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before serving for a delightful finish.
