yeah, that’s right. these super fluffy, easy, and simple banana bread muffins are filled with the creamiest, perfectly tangy cashew cream cheese.
another go-to treat for me growing up were cream cheese-filled muffin tops. something about the creamy and tanginess of cream cheese goes perfectly with a sweet, fluffy blueberry muffin. randomly, I found myself day dreaming about those muffins the other day, so of course I had to get in the kitchen and make my own version of them.
I had a few extra ripe bananas on my counter, so banana bread muffins were calling my name.
these extra fluffy and moist muffins are filled with creamy cashew cream cheese that only contain 3 ingredients: cashews, lemon juice, and almond milk. the muffins only contain 7 simple ingredients: coconut sugar, ripe bananas, flax egg, whole wheat flour, oat flour, cinnamon, and baking soda. they are that easy.
