Super Moist Blueberry Banana Cheesecake Muffins Recipe Makes Magic (30 Minutes) by Elisa Schmitz

At 30Seconds, we love banana bread – the moister, the better. We also love cheesecake – the creamier, the better. I recently discovered that when you put the two together, absolute magic happens.

This moist banana cheesecake muffins recipe combines delicious banana bread with creamy cheesecake to create super moist muffins! Along with a whole bunch of ripe bananas, the fresh blueberries add extra moisture, color and nutrition (check out the health benefits of blueberries and the health benefits of bananas).

We love the creamy sweet mascarpone cheese, along with cream cheese, that creates the cheesecake texture in these sweet treats. Whether you start your day with this muffin for breakfast or end your day with this cheesecake for dessert, if you like the taste of bananas, blueberries and cheesecake, then you will love these marvelous muffins.

This easy banana cheesecake muffin recipe is made of simple ingredients. Here's what you need to gather: mascarpone cheese, cream cheese, ripe bananas, brown sugar, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and fresh blueberries. The chopped walnuts are optional. You combine the ingredients then bake them up into incredibly moist, delicious muffins that taste like banana cheesecake!

These fresh blueberry banana cream cheese muffins are great for grab-and-go breakfasts, as part of Sunday brunch or as an energizing snack throughout the day. For a more decadent treat, serve them for dessert with homemade whipped cream on top. Wow!

Ingredients

• 8 ounces mascarpone cheese, at room temperature
• 4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
• 5 medium very ripe bananas, mashed
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 1/2 cups flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/3 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, optional

Here's how to make it:

1. To a large mixing bowl, add the softened mascarpone cheese and cream cheese. Mix well to thoroughly combine. (I softened to room temperature so they would blend easily.)
   
2. Add the mashed bananas and stir to incorporate. (Be sure to use very ripe, even overripe, bananas. The riper they are, the sweeter they are, and the better the muffins will be).)
   
3. Add the brown sugar, eggs, milk and vanilla extract to the mixture. Mix until thoroughly combined.
   
4. To another mixing bowl, add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Mix until blended. (If you'd like these muffins to be gluten-free, use gluten-free flour.)
   
5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until mixture is just combined. Do not over-mix.
   
6. Fold in the blueberries until just combined. Fold in the walnuts, if using.
   
   
7. Fill greased or lined muffin tins until nearly full with batter.
   
8. Bake in a preheated 350-degree F oven for about 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.
   
9. Allow muffins to cool for a few moments before serving. (Keep leftover muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator.)
