Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1 cup milk

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup mixed fresh fruits (strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, sliced bananas)

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for the cream cheese layer)

A sprinkle of lemon zest (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the milk, melted butter, eggs, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are okay.

          Fold in Fruits: Gently fold in the mixed fresh fruits until evenly distributed through the batter.

            Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.

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

                Make the Cream Cheese Topping: While the muffins are baking, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Add a sprinkle of lemon zest if desired.

                  Cool Muffins: Once baked, allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Top with Cream Cheese: Once the muffins are completely cool, generously spread the cream cheese mixture on top of each muffin.

                      Garnish (optional): Add a few extra pieces of fresh fruit on top of the cream cheese for an extra pop of color and flavor.

                        Serve and Enjoy: These delightful Fruit Pizza Muffins are perfect for breakfast or as a sweet snack. Enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee!
