A cream cheese filling on the inside and gooey chocolate in every bite. These are so fun and soo good…happy Saturday guys !! Don’t forget your mimosa ;)))
And so the galentines day beach weekend celebrations continue. Tonight we have dinner reservations out, but I am still in the kitchen today because you can’t have galantines weekend without a galantines brunch. So we are having mimosas and these delicious little muffins.
Banana muffins are good. Banana chocolate chip muffins are really good. But banana chocolate chip cheesecake muffins? Better. These muffins are perfect when they’re warm right out of the oven. Because the chocolate chips are gooey and the centers are filled with a cream cheese mixture which gives it the cheesecake flavor.
These are the perfect fluffy bites to pair with a mimosa and some galantines celebrations. And later we are going to Amada which is a Spanish tapas restaurant. So stay tuned for our stories because the food and the cocktails are both about to be super good !!
