Easy Cold Brew Cream Cheese Muffins recipe. This fudgy decadent dessert idea is like a cake and cheesecake in one bite sized snack.
The weather in Wisconsin is crazy! One week it’s so hot that my students are getting burned going outside. Then the next week, it starts snowing and I need to take out my winter jacket again. I can’t keep up!
But on the positive side, now that the weather is cold again I can turn on my oven. So I’m taking advantage of this fact by making these Cold Brew Cream Cheese Muffins.
What you’ll need to make Cold Brew Cream Cheese Muffins
- cream cheese
- white sugar
- flour
- egg
- chocolate chunks
- shredded coconut
- pecans
- chocolate chips
- brown sugar
- cocoa powder
- baking soda
- cold brew concentrate
- oil
- apple cider vinegar
Storage and Freezing
These muffins are best stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days. They can also be stored in the fridge for up to 1 week, however I have found that the fridge will dry out these muffins a little.
These muffins also freeze well. If you wanted to freeze these muffins, allow them to cool then store in a freezer bag for up to 1 month. When you are ready to eat them, place the muffin in the microwave for 20 seconds and enjoy!
