Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 large egg

1 cup buttermilk (or milk with a splash of vinegar)

1/3 cup vegetable oil

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup mixed fruit (e.g., blueberries, raspberries, diced strawberries, and bananas)

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup powdered sugar

Zest of 1 lemon

Optional: Additional fruit for topping and a drizzle of honey

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with muffin liners or grease it lightly with cooking spray.

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

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the egg, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and gently fold using a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are okay.

          Add Fruit: Gently fold in the mixed fruit to the batter, ensuring an even distribution without breaking the fruit pieces.

            Prepare Cream Cheese Topping: In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and lemon zest until smooth. Set aside.

              Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the muffin batter into each muffin cup, filling them about 2/3 full. Add a dollop of the cream cheese mixture on top of each muffin before baking.

                Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

                  Cool: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Serve: Optional: Top with additional fresh fruit and a light drizzle of honey before serving. Enjoy your delicious fruity pizza muffins!
