And her eyes really lit up when she saw these.
Soft, fluffy muffins with cream cheese swirled into the batter. It adds a subtle tanginess and provides extra moisture. The muffins are made with buttermilk, oil, and with the cream cheese, it’s impossible to have dry muffins.
The crumb topping adds texture and an extra pop of sweetness. I can’t resist crumb toppings and wanted to pick those sandy, slightly crunchy crumbs right off. When you’re filling your muffin pan with batter, make sure not to overfill the cavities. Sometimes I like to overfill for a nice big domed muffin top, but this isn’t the recipe to do it because you need to account for the crumb topping and oven rising.
If the cavities are too full, you’ll have crumb topping all over your muffin pan rather than on the muffins. I may have done this. Not fun to clean up. But the muffins were sure fun to eat.
They’d be so festive for holiday parties from Christmas to Valentine’s Day. Or really anytime. I think red velvet fans love it year-round and the muffins will be a hit with any red velvet lover.
