Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
In a small bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar until smooth.
Fill each muffin liner halfway with the batter. Add a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture in the center, then top with more batter to cover the cream cheese.
Sprinkle the tops with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the muffin (not the cream cheese center) comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, drizzle with melted white chocolate before serving.
