Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
In a small bowl, mix softened cream cheese with granulated sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla until smooth.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, beat eggs with milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla until well combined.
Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients; stir gently until just combined.
