Preparation

Step 1

Make 12 mini muffins | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Bake Time: 25-30 minutes

Preheat the oven at 350°F.

Sieve the flour, baking soda, baking powder and fine salt into a bowl. Whisk to mix.

Beat the butter, sugar and cream cheese until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes on medium speed. Turn the mixer to low and add the egg and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.

Add the dry ingredients, one tablespoon at a time. Slowly beat in the mashed banana until all ingredients just combined. Do not over beat.

In a separate bowl, mix all the ingredients for Cream Cheese Filling until smooth.

Transfer 1 big tablespoon of the muffin batter into each muffin/cupcake liner. Form a well in the center of each liner. Add 1 big teaspoon of the Cream Cheese Filling into the well. Fill up each liner with more batter until approximately 3/4 full. Arrange a few walnut pieces on the top center.
