CREAM CHEESE BRUNCH MUFFINS

2 cups flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup cherry or strawberry preserves
1 (3 oz.) package cream cheese, cut into 12 cubes

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place 12 Baker’s Choice bake cups (paper baking cups) in a muffin pan; set aside.

In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add milk, oil and egg; stir just until dry ingredients are moistened. Spoon half of batter into bake cups, filling 1/4 full. Spoon 1 teaspoon of preserves and press 1 cube of cream cheese in center of each bake cup. Spoon remaining batter evenly over filling.

Bake 18 to 20 minutes, or until light brown. Serve warm.
