Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature to help the batter blend smoothly.
You can add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.

FAQs

Can I use coconut flour instead of almond flour?

Coconut flour absorbs more moisture, so you would need to adjust the quantity and possibly add extra eggs or liquid. Almond flour works best for this recipe to achieve the right texture.

Can I make these muffins dairy-free?

Using dairy-free cream cheese alternatives is possible, but it may affect the texture and flavor slightly. Choose a brand that is firm and suitable for baking for best results.
