How to Make Red Velvet Cream Cheese Muffins
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl: flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Whisk together the wet ingredients in a separate bowl: buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and red food coloring.
Combine the wet and dry ingredients, gently folding them together until just mixed.
Fill muffin liners about 2/3 full with the batter.
Bake your muffins for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool the muffins in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Prepare the frosting by beating the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar in a bowl until smooth and creamy.
Frost your cooled muffins generously before serving.
Optional: Sprinkle with mini chocolate chips on top for an extra delightful touch.
