The flavors in this recipe are good, but the ingredient quantities are way off. 1) not enough cream cheese/confectioner's sugar mixture 2) when the dry and wet ingredients are combined, the batter has a bread dough consistency, not runny like muffin batter. I tried adding more milk and an extra egg, but that didn't help. Once cooked, the muffin part was a very dense bread texture. My guess (without trying the recipe again) would be too much flour. Probably wont try this again as there is too much guess work to it.

These are delicious and rich. Too bad I am on a diet and had to give all but one away. ;)

Great. Loved the cream cheese and jelly filling, the muffin isn't so sweet which is just great with the filling. Coffee, tea?

I too added more sugar to the recipe, as recommended and they were a huge hit! Also, I skipped the lemon zest.... and instead of regular milk I used Almond Milk. It gave it a nice little effect :)

These did not work out for me.... I'm a pretty good baker (quoting others) & I barely had enough batter to put a bottom layer for 12 muffins. The measurements seem way off! I ended up using 8 oz of cream cheese & for the topping I combined brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, quick oats & butter. They came out O. K.... However I won't be making them again. I'm glad many others are happy with the recipe. I wish I could have given a better review.

Excellent!!! Exactly what I hoped for. I agree, they are not too sweet, but easy to fix that by adding more sugar or sweetener (like I did). Inside muffins are moist and airy, really delicious. Definitely saving this recipe.

Not sure what I did wrong or if they are supposed to be like this. They tasted like pancakes more than muffins. I made these for Valentines day and usually my desserts get eaten up... these stayed around for a few days.

They were pretty fun to make and not that hard. But, they were a bit dry. ;)

If i could give 6 stars or more, I would. These were sooo delicious and I got tons of compliments on them! I like baked good fresh out of the oven and this was amazing. Quick, easy, and tastes really good...can't beat that!
