Banana, Cream Cheese & Oatmeal Muffins
Yield: 10-12 muffins
Cook Time: 20-25 minutes
Tips: Make sure to use ripe and soft bananas.

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 3 oz. package cream cheese
- 2 ripened bananas
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup quick cooking oats
- 4 teaspoons (1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon) baking powder
- 1 teaspoon soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions
Preheat oven to 350° F.
In an electric mixer bowl, add butter, cream cheese, bananas and sugar. Beat until smooth and creamy. Add eggs and mix until blended. In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together flours, oats, baking powder, soda and salt. Gradually add flour mixture to electric mixer bowl ingredients and mix just until thoroughly blended.
Grease a 12-cup muffin pan with butter. Fill 10-12 cups equally with batter (12 cups for smaller muffins, 10 cups for larger muffins). (Muffin cups will fill to 2/3 - 3/4 full, depending on how many cups you fill.) Bake for 20-25 minutes or just until tops turn light golden brown and bounce back when touched lightly in the center.
