Strawberry Cheesecake Muffins, Sugar & Egg Free



I made the most divine muffins this weekend!  My family gobbled up all 12 of them in two days.  I got the original recipe with eggs & sugar from Momspotted.com.  You could really put any berry in these.  I can't wait to try blueberry.  The cream cheese filling was so smooth & creamy on the inside.  It felt like I was having dessert with my coffee.  The girls couldn't believe how good they were too!


Can you the creamy cheesecake layer?
